  • 80% marine pollution, land activities
  • Oil spills
  •      -responsible 12% oil sea Each year
  •      -according US National research council, 36% from drains waste rivers from cities, industries.
fertilizers  
  •  fertilizer comes/falls out, farms, lawn huge problem for costal areas
  • causes eutrophication.
  • it dissolves all the oxygen and suffocates other marine life
  •  caused a lot of dead zones all around the world like gulf of Mexico 
seas of garbage 
  • Soild garbage finds its way into the ocean like balloons, plastic bags, plastic, one time use cups...
  • if not disposed well ALL our garbage,end at sea.
  • plastic garbage often mistaken by marine animals of animals that feed of the ocean like fish and seagulls as food.
  • it can block there breathing system and even there digestive system like whales, dolphins, turtles, seals, puffins...
  • this garbage sometimes makes its way back to land which in not very good news for us, this can cause major costal and beach pollution.

-Marine animals consequences: poisoning, tangling ( choking...
- 400 million people  live from fish also eating plastic
- More plastic ocean stars in milky way ( there approximately 250 billion stars in milky way )
- 322 million tons plastic produced in 2015 ( same weight as 900 empire state building ( building made out of steal and metal ) )
- 60 - 90% marine rubbish plastic
- Almost ever marine animal has  man made chemicals.
- Chemicals come  through dumping.
-Dumping was banned in London in 1972.
- Toxic chemicals are dumped like oil.
- Selling 20,000 bottles more every second.

How much plastic do we produce?
-192 nations produce 275 million tones of plastic.
-China produces the most plastic and waste the most. (1.32 - 3.52 million tones)
 How long does plastic last in the ocean?
- plastic is made durable so it last a long time

-8-12 million tones plastic gets thrown in the ocean each year

-plastic releases chemicals that are poisonous

-it is estimated that 299 million tones of plastic was produced in 2013 and it has increased in 2014

-in any beach you go you will find plastic there

-most plastic is recyclable 

-16.5% plastic is recyclable the other ones with other materials is not.
 
HEALTH CONCERNS:
-toxis chemicals are dangerous for ground water.
-harm wildlife and people
 
MARINE POLLUTION:
-largest impact has been on marine ecosystem, 10% of all the plastic we use end sin the ocean.
- 100,000 animals die each year due to mistakenly thinking that something looks like food even though it is plastic.
 
MICRO-PLASTIC
- Plastic breaks down to micro plastic, it takes along period of time to break down completely.
- micro-plastic is very small so anybody can think of it as something to eat without knowing though.
- Once ingested by the animal it finds its way to people’s (our) meals.
 
ECONOMIC COST:
- countries in Asia-pacific say that they lost $622 million a year due to littering in beaches.
-and fishing industries, and shipping industries lose a lot of many per year due to this(shipping industries:$279 million, fishing industries: $364 million)
 
REDUCE PLASTIC WASTE:
-decrease the amount of plastic we produced and increase
-if we don’t recycle wasted plastic then we would be forced to make new plastic which then eventually ends up in the ocean.
- help by keep wasted plastic from landfill and especially ocean.
