How marine debris is point of concern for humans now ?
The world 70% area is covered with ocean or water and it's unfortunate to conclude that this major landscape is polluted , which we call marine debris or trash .
Yes , its now very important to make our attention over the fact of polluting oceans and the way we are disturbing the marine life . As 80% of debris in marine is through human activities . There are several facts and data to show How the world ocean is getting polluted and more carelessly it's getting up day by day . The common factor of this act is faced by marine life as different debris and plastics goes into thier body which cause a very hard cause of their death & problems.
What are major parts of marine debris ?
Here through the image shown by Ocean Conservancy from last 25 years data , gives us a very clear facts about how hard we all are impacting marine life . Cigarette and butts are major debris which are actually made up of much hazardous toxic substances so their waste can definitely cause major impact on turtles , mammles, fish and many other life living in ocean and more debris like wrappers , caps , bottles and plastic bags . The most problem and harmful waste for marine life is medical waste like syringes , medicines glass bottles and many other.
Humans life impact .
The major reason of this condition human , too are estimated to face the impact of this act as human takes many marine life as thier food item , and if the foods are not good so would definitely too not good for human. So as being selfish too we can make stop on this process .
Plastics the major factor marine debris.
As we know how common we all are with plastics and plastic with us , and waste produced through it worldwide is simple to understand ' where the most plastic waste would be going ? ' that's oceans ! Plastics floating on the surface of oceans is one of most difficulties producing waste for marine life , as sometimes the plastic stucks in their body part or sometime mistakenly eaten by them ...and where no-one is too treat them to get rid of the problem.
Most of plastics waste are produced by china which are dumped in ocean and then many economically powerful countries ranks here as most plastics waste are produced by rich countries like US, Germany and many others. But they too have a better plastics management system as compared to poor and economically low countries . ( Waste across the highest countries - Kuwait, Guyana, Germany, Netherlands, Ireland, the United States - is more than ten times higher than across many countries such as India, Tanzania, Mozambique and Bangladesh. )
In last 60-65 years , the global plastics waster has increased upto 350 million tones .
However India doesn't contributes much in marine debris and ocean pollution but the facts of the most plastic polluting rivers across world for oceans where Ganges too is listed in second rank as according to ourworldindata.org .
So these are very frequent facts and data but more it's hurting to know the data which shows how human have irregular to nature in their profits scope . We all must make sure whenever we make any trip on beach of sea that we not make any mistake of throwing plastics and regular waste aside of beach or in beach and also make sure that we do not this same thing on bank of rivers because they flow in ocean somewhere.
Many divers and ocean staff works for this act as by collecting waste from the side beaches and from boat in sea to collect waste floating on surface sea.
As from the news sources it was found the trash and debris came on the mumbai beaches at large quantities after tauktae cyclone . Here is the image showing debris collection after cyclone below 👇 :-
This shows that nature is now doing its own efforts and acts to avoid the human careless tragedy from last several years. And again alarming all of us .
Please be little kind to nature which makes us to survive by making your small good attempts towards it.
