The largest area
where rubbish
gathers in the
ocean is called the
Great Garbage
Patch In the north
pacific. Here there
is a concentrated
soup of micro
plastics some less
than 5 millimetres
in diameter.
Research has estimated that between 5,000 and 15,000
sea turtles are entangled each year by derelict fishing gear
in northern Australia alone.
It is estimated around 90% of seabirds eat plastic.
The plastic can cause blockages or tears in intestines
or can cause toxic chemicals to leach into the
animal.
Plastic can get lodged
in coral affecting the
health of our coral
reefs.
Plastic pollution affects over 700 ocean and coastal
species.
