The Story of Plastics
Every year, 14 million tons of plastic enter the ocean, causing severe pollution. Plastics have many benefits but also create long-lasting environmental problems due to their slow decomposition. Most plastic waste ends up in landfills or the ocean, harming marine life and ecosystems. Addressing this issue requires global cooperation, innovative solutions, and implementing policies like the Global Plastics Treaty. Divers can play a key role in reducing ocean plastic pollution by actively participating in cleanup efforts and advocating for change.
