Marine debris

Marine debris is causing many problems for the ocean. Most of all it is causing the death and extinction of the different animals. Six pack rings, plastic bags, plastic pellets, and bottles are often found within the stomachs of the different marine animals. The marine debris is polluting the waters and killing the ecosystem. The debris can get caught on the plants and cover them from the sun. In order to prevent the continuing spread of marine debris we need to stop dumping our trash in the ocean. Also cutting up six pack rings in order to stop them from entangling animals. And finally recycling. The great pacific garbage patch is a perfect example of what not to do. In the last 40 years it has reached the size of Texas and only continues to grow.
