Ocean plastic pollution: A growing threat to marine ecosystems
Abstract
Our oceans, covering over 70% of the Earth's surface, are vital to life on our planet. They provide food, oxygen, climate regulation, and countless other essential services. However, the oceans are facing an insidious and growing threat: plastic pollution. Plastic waste, which is pervasive in marine environments, poses a significant risk to marine ecosystems, wildlife, and ultimately, human well-being. In this article, we will delve into the issue of ocean plastic pollution, its far-reaching impacts, and the urgent need for global action.
