Answer 1

The plastics if reaches the oceans then it affects the aquatic animals in large scale. Because the plastic covers and papers will be eaten by the fishes in the ocean and as the plastic accumulates in their bodies those creatures will die. when the waste of the plastic is mixed with the ocean water then the breathing of the aquatic animals would be affected.their food like grass plants under the ocean are affected by the plastic and these are taken by the fishes where they are affected again..so it is dangerous to the aquatic animals

Answer 2

Answer:

• At least 800 species across the globe are reportedly impacted by marine trash, which contains as much as 80% plastic.
• Up to 13 million metric tons of plastic are thought to enter the ocean annually, which is equal to one trash or garbage truck load every minute.
• Fish, seabirds, sea turtles, and marine mammals can suffocate, starve, or perish when they eat or get tangled in plastic trash.
• The threat is not unaffected by human beings: While it may take hundreds of years for plastics to completely disintegrate, some of them do so far more quickly and wind up as minute particles in the seafood we consume.
• According to research, plastic has been consumed by 50% of all sea turtles globally.
• After doing so, some people starve because they believe they have eaten enough because their bellies are full.
• Plastic pollution is so widespread on many beaches that it is reducing turtle reproduction rates by changing the temperature of the sand where incubation takes place.
