Entanglement: animals are entangled in fishing nets
Ghost-fishing: nets that are lost at sea keep on killing many marine animals.
Plastic Pellets: marine birds eat them and carry them back to their chicks.
Six-Pack Rings: entrap and strangle animals
Plastic Bags: resemble food such as jellyfish and can become stuck in the digestive system causing the animal to die.
Garbage contains toxic or poisonous chemicals that can seep into groundwater or rivers and eventually reach the sea. To prevent the many problems caused my debris, we can start to recycle more. Bottle caps do no get recycled, so when you see some on the ground pick them up. When walking on the shore pick up trash and throw it away. Also break apart the holes on six pack rings so they can not entangle animals.
