Plastic pollution has devastating effects on marine life. Marine animals can mistake plastic debris for food, leading to internal blockages, digestive issues, and eventually death. Additionally, plastics can leach harmful chemicals into the water, impacting the health of marine species. Entanglement in plastic waste can also cause injuries, suffocation, and hinder the ability of marine animals to swim, hunt, or reproduce. Overall, plastic pollution poses a serious threat to the marine ecosystem and biodiversity.
