Marine Pollution
Marine pollution refers to the contamination of the ocean and other bodies of water by harmful substances. This can include plastic debris, oil spills, chemical pollutants, and other waste materials that negatively impact marine ecosystems and wildlife. Marine pollution poses a significant threat to the health of our oceans, leading to habitat destruction, harm to marine species, and disruptions to the food chain. Efforts to reduce marine pollution include regulations on waste disposal, clean-up initiatives, and promoting sustainable practices to protect the environment.
