The increase of plastic waste in the oceans has become a global environmental crisis. Every year, millions of tons of plastic are dumped into the sea, harming marine life and contaminating the food chain. Sea turtles often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, while fish and seabirds ingest tiny plastic particles known as microplastics. These materials do not decompose easily and can remain in the ocean for hundreds of years.

One of the major contributors to this issue is the lack of waste management systems in many coastal and developing countries. Without proper recycling facilities or waste education, people continue to throw plastic into rivers and oceans. Additionally, some industries use oceans as dumping grounds to save costs, ignoring long-term environmental impacts. As a result, plastic pollution not only threatens marine ecosystems but also affects human health, especially for communities who rely on seafood as their main source of protein.
