Marine pollution

      Marine pollution is a significant problem, with nearly 80% of the ocean being contaminated by pollutants from land. These pollutants can have detrimental effects on aquatic life, wildlife, and coastal communities. Some of the main causes of marine pollution include plastic bags, pesticides, oil spills, fertilizers, and untreated sewage. Industries and urban development also contribute to the problem through the discharge of untreated water and waste. Oil spills can cause severe damage to the marine environment, and fertilizers can lead to algal blooms that deplete oxygen and suffocate other marine life. To combat marine pollution, it is important to reduce energy consumption, use fewer plastic products, control purchases that exploit marine life, and educate ourselves about the ocean and its inhabitants. The preservation of the oceans is crucial for our survival.
