Some trash travels a long journey all the way to the center of the ocean. They float on the surface and release potentially toxic chemicals while decomposing‚ bring disruption to marine life. There is 100‚000 marine mammals’ trash-related deaths each year. Scientists estimate the Garbage Patch may be four times bigger than the one in North‚ and humans

Over the past several hundred years the conditions of our oceans have decreased drastically. Coral reefs are home to more species than all other marine environments‚ and many other species rely on the coral reefs for their own survival. Today coral reefs face multiple threats such as pollution‚ unsuitable fishing practices‚ global climate change‚ and other human activities. If humans don’t take action to conserve and improve the conditions of the oceans the coral reefs will suffer. There are many
