We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children . ~Antoine de Saint- Exupéry Marine litter is a growing problem that affects our oceans and marine life. It is important to understand the impact of litter on the environment and what we can do to reduce it . Litter has been present in the ocean for many years, but it became a significant issue with the increase in plastic production in the mid-20th century. Studies show that China is the largest contributor to marine litter, followed by Indonesia and the Philippines. How does litter harm wildlife? Marine litter poses a threat to marine animals and birds through ingestion, entanglement, and habitat destruction. It also affects ecosystems and biodiversity. What is being done to reduce marine litter ? Governments are implementing regulations and cleanup efforts to reduce marine litter.
