Plastic pollution threatens marine life because many animals become trapped in plastic waste or mistake it for food, which can cause injury, starvation, and death while also polluting ocean ecosystems.
Millions of marine animals suffer each year due to pollution, climate change, and harmful human activities. Plastic waste, oil spills, and overfishing damage ocean ecosystems and threaten many species with extinction. Protecting the oceans through conservation and reducing pollution is important for marine life and the health of the planet.

90% of seabirds
Have plastic pieces in their stomachs due to polluted oceans and floating debris. Many marine animals, including turtles, seabirds, and fish, accidentally mistake plastic for food, which can cause starvation, injury, or death. As plastic waste continues to spread through the oceans, it creates serious dangers for marine ecosystems and wildlife.

100 million marine animals
Die each year from plastic pollution. Millions of marine animals, such as turtles, fish, whales, and seabirds, are harmed by plastic waste in the oceans. Many animals mistake plastic for food or become trapped in fishing nets and other debris, which can lead to injury or death. Reducing plastic pollution and protecting ocean habitats are important for the survival of marine life.

Plastic enters oceans yearly, causing serious harm to marine life and ocean ecosystems. Millions of sea animals are affected when they ingest plastic waste or become trapped in debris such as fishing nets and plastic bags. Over time, plastic breaks down into tiny microplastics that spread through the water and enter the marine food chain.
