Marine Debris
Marine debris consists of solid materials discarded or lost in marine and coastal environments, including plastics, fishing gear, metal, glass, and rubber. It originates from land-based sources such as improper waste disposal and from ocean-based activities like shipping and fishing. Marine debris threatens marine ecosystems by causing entanglement, ingestion, habitat damage, and disruption of food chains. It also affects coastal economies, tourism, and human health through contaminated seafood and hazardous beach environments. Public health and environmental strategies focus on waste reduction, improved waste management systems, coastal cleanup programs, and public awareness. Addressing marine debris requires international cooperation, sustainable consumption practices, and policy interventions to protect marine biodiversity and coastal communities.
