Plastic pollution in oceans set to critically impact marine ecosystems.
Plastic waste in oceans is a big problem that harms marine life and ecosystems. The slow breakdown of plastic means more and more will accumulate in the oceans, causing serious damage. Microplastics, tiny bits of plastic, are especially harmful to ocean creatures. To solve this issue, we need to learn more about how plastic is made, where it goes, and how it affects the environment. We also need new ideas to manage plastic waste and educate people about the dangers of plastic pollution. It's important for local and regional governments to work together to create effective policies to address this problem.
