Plastic Pollution in Our Oceans
What’s Choking the Blue Planet
The ocean is one of our planet’s greatest natural resources. We use it for sports, food, energy, and peace of mind. The condition of our oceans is in peril. Commercial fishermen leave behind netting, fishing lines, and food waste that contaminates our oceans and traps marine life in its remains. Human litter is also a great harm to our oceans. Marine life was not meant to fight for their lives against human plastic waste. Recycling is not enough. We need to be better and do better for the sake of marine life and the sake of our planet.
