Garbage contains toxic or poisonous chemicals that can seep into the groundwater of rivers and eventually reach the sea. 

Mono-filament: is a type of fishing line which is often lost at sea, many animals get strangled and die.


Entanglement: many animals get tangled into fishing nets with no possible way to escape.


Plastic Bags: resemble food such as jellyfish and can become stuck in the digestive system causing animals to die.



Ghost fishing - consists of nets that are lost at sea, killing many animals.


Plastic pellets- marine birds eat them and carry them back to their chicks. *chocking hazard*
