In the ocean, plastic debris injures and kills fish, seabirds and marine mammals. Marine plastic pollution has impacted at least 267 species worldwide, including 86% of all sea turtle species, 44% of all seabird species and 43% of all marine mammal species. The impacts include fatalities as a result of ingestion, starvation, suffocation, infection, drowning, and entanglement.
Sources are many but the solutions are few. Because oceans are part of the food chain, marine pollution affects a wide spectra of species, including humans.

The effects that have been making headlines across the world include global warming, the melting of polar ice caps, the extinction of endangered marine species, etc.
