Do You Know How Serious Is Ocean Pollution?
You may think that our oceans are just fine and aren’t being affected as severely from pollution. You are mistaken. Here are some facts to back up our claim.
>> There are approximately 5.25 trillions bits and chunks of plastic garbage located all around our oceans.
>> Also, about 8 million tons of plastic debris are continuously disposed of in our oceans every year.
>> 269,000 tons was the estimate of floating plastic trash bobbing in the surface of our oceans from a study in 2014.

How Bad Plastics Are Polluting Our Oceans?
>> The amount of plastic has been massively underestimated,
>> As per new study reported in 2020, Researchers estimate that the Atlantic’s total plastic load is around 220 million U.S. tons.
>> There is at least 10 times more plastic polluting the Atlantic Ocean than previously believed.
>> An estimated 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic hover dangerously in the ocean waters, equal to 80,000 tons and it keeps growing every year.
>> Plastic waste kills up to one million seabirds, 100,000 sea mammals, marine turtles and countless fish each year.
