Our seas are in danger of pollution from many different things. From toxic waste to runoff, the quality of the water in our seas is suffering. One problem is that even such mundane things such as plastic are adding to the pollution. Thousands of tons of plastic end up in our seas every year. Some of these materials end up being caught by the currents and end up in giant garbage patches.
This picture shows some of the debris that can be found in different areas. The plastic breaks down into little pieces that poison fish and eventually humans. We are hoping raise awareness of the problem and encourage people to ensure their garbage is disposed of properly.
