Yes, the visualization is misleading. The percentages provided for the categories (Plastics: 43%, Oil: 19%, Chemicals: 24%, Wastewater: 14%) add up to 100%, but the dataset sums to 100% without considering any margin for error or additional sources. This means that the pie chart does not accurately represent the distribution of ocean pollution sources, as it might exclude other important categories or misrepresent the data.
