Problems caused by marine debris

Marine debris is a devastating problem for marine life. Entanglement is deadly, catching and killing thousands of fish and animals. There are many different types, but all are caused by mankind. One of the ways to reduce this problem would be to recycle more!

Plastic Bags: look like jelly fish and are ingested by animals, which can suffocate them.

Bottle Caps: often eaten by birds, and taken back to their young, also kill many animals.

Ghost Fishing: old nets and pots that are lost at sea continue to capture and kill animals.

6 pack rings: trap and strangle fish often drowning and even disfiguring them.
