Marine pollution, One of the biggest threats to our oceans is man-made pollution. Discarded plastics and other residential waste, discharge from pesticides and industrial chemicals eventually find their way into sea with devastating consequences for marina life and habitats they depends on. Shopping accidents and oil spills add additional toxins to the mix.
It is estimated that a staggering 80 per cent of marine pollution originates on land. Land- based pollutants__such as agricultural run-off and nutrients from sewage outflow - are contributing to ocean 'dead zones' - areas which can no longer sustain life because they are law or zero oxygen. There are some 500 of these dead zones around the world.
In addition, rapid urbanization along the world's coastlines has seen the growth of coastal ' megacities' ( cities with a population of 10 million or more). In 2012, thirteen of world's 20 megacities were situated along coasts. Many of these population put pressures on infrastructure were urban wast and sewage management is poor. In such areas, implementing effective wast reduction initiatives, recycling and effective wast sewage and management is key to improving the health longevity of our oceans.
Plastic is one of the biggest man-made pollutions in the marine pollution in the marine environment, with an estimated eight million tonnes of wast plastic finding its way into our ocean each year. The build-up of plastic litter-bottles and cups, plastic found in cigarette filters, strews and other 'macro plastics' (those which are larger then 5 mm) _in these urban coastal areas washes out to sea is heavy rain, polluting coastal waters and eventually drifting out to sea, where is broken down into every smaller pieces, eventually becoming micro plastics.
Please do not litter in the water. Save life of all water animal because fishes are also the part of natural environment. Keep clean our oceans seas and lakes for batter life of water animal.
They are also a family please caring this family of life and save the nature.
