Did you know...
About 80% of marine debris is estimated to come from land-based sources.
Plastic is the most common type of marine debris found in oceans and waterways.
Plastic often breaks into smaller and smaller pieces called microplastics rather than fully disappearing.
Marine animals can mistake plastic for food or become entangled in discarded plastic and fishing gear.
