to wildlife, habitats, and human safety. Our research for this literature review has used eight sources to compile some basic knowledge on the affects trash on land and in coastal waters. These papers have taught us about debris accumulating in the ocean, cleanup efforts, and what the pollution's impacts are on the environment. In this review we will be comparing these articles content to help better understand the topic at hand. Accumulation The use of single-use products in our world today has

Over 70% of the Earth as we know it, is made up of five oceans ranging in depth from 12,000 feet all the way to the deepest trenches at 36,000 feet. Being so vast, there is a lot that we do not know about the world’s oceans, or how the species that live in it came to be. Our oceans provide some of the most extreme living conditions that a species can encounter in its life. But surprisingly, several species can survive and thrive in these extreme environments due to adaptations throughout the decades

Oceans are harmed by trash,oil spill, pollution, and more. Everything that gets thrown in the lake or rivers usually ends up in the ocean and harms the ocean. People are not the only ones who throws in the ocean. Factories and farmers also harm the ocean. When people don't throw away trash in the garbage and throw it in the lake or the river the trash ends out in the ocean. "About 80% of marine debris originates from sources on land and the other 20%, about 636,000 tons per year, comes from ocean

pollution. Eventually, many types of pollution and waste make their way to the ocean. Therefore, pollution has a significant impact on the ocean and marine life. There are several different types of pollution that negatively impact the ocean. Most people are primarily familiar with pollution of the oceans as solid waste, usually plastic waste. As a result of carelessness and littering plastic pollution of the world’s oceans is at an all time high. In fact, in 2014 it was discovered through several

“Pollution in the ocean is killing huge amounts of animals”. That is what we hear in the news almost everyday. Pollution in the ocean is a big problem that is happening right now,There are now close to 500 dead zones covering more than 245,000 km² globally, equivalent to the surface of the United Kingdom. We need to start finding ways to help oceans get cleaner. A good idea to help the ocean could be making a robot that will help clean the ocean, and help clean places where we as humans don’t regularly

intake of carbon dioxide is steadily increasing. The ocean consumes about a third of the CO2 that is released every year (National Geographic, 2015-2017). This intake is making the ocean’s pH levels drop. The carbon dioxide being consumed is changing the composition of sea water. Man-made CO2 emissions not only have an impact on the Earth’s seas, but also contribute to global warming, which is also a trending problem that we are now facing today. Ocean acidification is the continuous decrease of our

How Can Overfishing of Our Oceans Be Prevented? Oceans cover much of the world. They contain many fish that are the primary diets for many nations. The ocean ecosystem is vital to all life. For a long time, it was believed that there was no end to the amount of fish in the ocean. It was thought there was endless supply. That belief has changed and our oceans are being overfished to the point that some fish species have collapsed and many more are in danger. Overfishing is not just endangering

The Ocean at the End of the Lane is a fictional memoir written by Neil Gaiman. The story took place in contemporary England. The protagonist, also the narrator, was a 7-year-old boy who later became friends with Lettie Hempstock. She was an older girl living at the end of the lane. The narrator and Lettie Hempstock experienced a series of fascinating adventures. The antagonist, Ursula Monkton, appeared to be a friendly and good-looking nanny, actually tried to control the world. She was revealed

out at the beautiful ocean, the silky sand and gorgeous seashells lay underneath my feet. The blue waves crashing down onto the shore. The ocean is truly a beautiful sight to see. However, we are slowly ruining this beautiful thing because of the way we treat this planet, the ocean is extremely polluted and marine life is paying for it. A few of the ways mankind is damaging marine life is by heavy oil pollution, and exposing marine life to dangerous chemicals. One way our oceans are polluted is because

The Ocean. Earlier last week we posted a (tedtalk) video about mindfulness. About how it can be preventative, and that it is all about familiarising ourselves with the present moment. To find calmness and clarity in our life, within our thoughts. After watching this, my thoughts somehow drifted to the ocean, and that evening, I decided to go for a drive to visit the waves and sand at sunset. This left me questioning what it is that draws me to the ocean, as its quite a common I find myself driven
