Plastic Waste In The Oceans

    In the last few years there has been more and more evidence that plastic pollution in our oceans is becoming a massive problem. Large pieces of plastic which end up in the sea can entangle marine animals or can also suffocate them.

    Tiny pieces of plastic — broken down by the action of water and the sun — cause harm by entering the marine food chain. If the animals eat plastic it will make them feel artificially full so that they do not eat and they starve to death. Furthermore, when fish have eaten plastic it becomes part of their body; if we then eat that fish our food contains plastic — we are eating our own plastic waste.
