Majority of the litter dispersed into the ocean came from land because of human activity. Whether it is intentional or nonintentional, the waste released into the ocean is because of humans

System thinking is considered as one of the most effective tools to solve sustainability challenges such as pollution, over population, climate change, poverty…. One of the sustainable development problems is pollution in oceans which is increasingly becoming a controversial and wicked environmental problem all over the world. Although governments are trying to solve this issue, marine pollution continues to rise and threat the survival of a large number of marine species then, it cause the imbalance

water resources(Chris 1).Water pollution affects the entire biosphere – plants and organisms living in these bodies of water. In almost all cases the effect is damaging not only to individual species and population, but also to the natural biological communities(WIKI 1).The three acts which causes water pollution are when garbage is dumped into oceans,and causing oil spills while transporting crude oils,industrial waste dumped into oceans.

narrative of the sixth extinction caused directly by human impact. The book identifies the effects of human activity on how, over humans history on earth, the natural world has been affected. Every environmental impact stems into three basic groups of global problems to nature: Pollution, Habitat loss and Invasive Species. Kolbert explains that each impact can be traced back to one source, human industrial development. With each impact various types of life in the natural world are affected. Deforestation
