Consequences

The great impact of marine plastic pollution besides the alteration of nature, is the harm it causes to marine creatures. Marine life is being threatened by plastic floating in their habitats. “Variable impacts of common debris items on the health of marine wildlife were identified, with entanglement by fishing-related gear, balloons and plastic bags emerging as the greatest threat to seabirds, sea turtles and marine mammals.” Besides, the ways mentioned above ships also contribute to this pollution. The fishing nets and research artifacts end up going into the ocean harming the marine animals by entanglement and ingestion. The innocent marine creature is looking for food while it encounters a plastic bottle or fishing net. The marine creature tries to check what is it and ends up getting trapped. What do you think about it?

Also, they may ingest the plastic by just tasting it. They are not aware that their organism will not process the plastic piece and the chemical that it releases.Therefore, they live with serious problems until they die.
