Plastic Pollution Is One Of The Greatest Threats T..

 



Plastic pollution is one of the greatest threats to ocean health globally.

.

According to IUCN, plastic pollution is the most widespread problem affecting the marine environment which threatens ocean health, food safe & quality, human health, coastal tourism and contributes to climate change.

.

Large visible marine debris such as ghost nets, plastic bags and fishing lines causes injuries & suffocation from entanglement to marine wildlife such as sea turtles, fishes & sea birds. While smaller fragments of plastics are commonly found ingested by numerous marine species.

.

The most effective means to address the issue of marine plastic pollution is to reduce the use of plastic materials particularly the single-use-disposable plastic such as candy wrappers, plastic straws and bags.

.

Plastic is cheap, lightweight & accessible but has a long devastating impact on the environment. It is best to invest in reusable items that will reduce plastic waste in landfills & ocean as well as saving your money in the long run.
