problem

Marine litter (litter at sea) and plastic pollution are a globally growing environmental problem. About 8 million tons of plastic flows into our oceans every year. This is harmful to the oceans and the many animal species that live in them. Marine mammals, birds and fish see the waste, such as pieces of plastic, caps or plastic bags, for food. They become entangled in discarded or lost nets, fishing wire and ropes. Plastic particles have since been found in 660 species living in the sea. Possible effects on human health are being investigated.
