Plastics enter the ocean through various pathways, including improper disposal, wind dispersal, and runoff from land. Once in the ocean, they can travel long distances and accumulate in gyres, forming massive patches of marine debris. These plastics harm marine life through ingestion, entanglement, and the release of toxic chemicals. Ocean plastics also pose risks to human health and the economy through impacts on fisheries, tourism, and coastal communities.
