Ocean Debris and How Humans Contribute Although the ocean covers only 70% of the earth, the ocean is covered with an estimated 270,000 tons and 5.2 trillion pieces of trash. The ocean is home to an estimated 226,408 species of marine life, and in the past year, over 10 species have become extinct due to human pollution. Human garbage disposal and pollution is not the only reason for these effects on marine life; mining for gold, silver, and oil in the oceans are other common factors that contribute

its way into the ocean each year (Plastic Oceans). For instance, “fish in the North Pacific ingest 12,000- 24,000 tons of plastic each year” (Wabnitz). Twelve thousand tons of plastic should not be afloat in the ocean simply chilling waiting for a fish to indulge itself with; clearly, we have a problem. Fish however are not the only species impacted by plastic, Sea turtles also mistake floating plastic for food. Current research indicates that “fifty percent of sea turtles’ ocean wide have ingested

According to the results, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines, Bangladesh and China could be most affected by climate change. For example, China is badly affected as the cities are covered by a thick layer smog most of the year, caused by air pollution. If this continues, the Maldives will completely disappear in 30 years because the sea level is rising and the land is low. What are the effects? Plants and animals are

since tourist have came to hawaii the ocean has become very dangerous to the sea creatures in it. They have negatively affected the ocean in many ways such as polluting the ocean by throwing their plastics, and even oil spills that is occurring in areas from them.

The ocean covers 71 percent of the surface of the globe, and it constitutes over 90 percent of all habitable space on Earth. It’s total volume is around 300 million cubic miles and its weight is approximately 1.3 million million million tons. No wonder that Arthur C. Clarke, scientist and writer, once remarked that it was ‘inappropriate to call this planet Earth, when clearly it is ocean.* * (Mulvaney 28). Ocean pollution is growing out of control, and the clean up of our world’s oceans is critical

surrounding” (Carson, 366). According to the findings revealed by research foundations in California, marine life is and has been in great danger as a result of plastic remains that accumulates in the Ocean. In his article Daniel Woods states, “Approximately eighty percent of remains found in Oceans are made of plastic that originates from urban runoffs such as plastic trash carried away from landfills, trucks, as well as garbage containers, marinas, ports and construction trash” (Wood, 20). Furthermore

The greed and recklessness of humanity have impacted the ocean tremendously. Roughly over eight million tons of plastic waste dumped into the ocean on a yearly basis. Dumping eight million tons of waste is equivalent to having a U-Haul truck filled with plastic waste and other toxic waste Into the ocean every fourteen hundred and forty minutes of every day. Waste like foil balloons, silica gel packages, plastic bottles, and metals get trapped inside of marine wildlife, coral reefs, and upon the surface
