Ocean habitats are destroyed every day due to plastic pollution. Almost 90% of all liters are plastic. This deadly plastic ends up in the ocean and then multiplies every year causing the death of nearly 100,000 forms of marine mammals and one million seabirds. We as humans must reduce and eliminate plastic from our oceans. Albatross chicks are seabirds that live in the ocean. Every year 500,000 chicks are born, 200,000 die due to plastic pollution. These chicks don't stand a chance based on their diet which consists of a substance regurgitated by their parents for their necessary nutritional intake. The plastic collected by the parents enters the chicks causing starvation and dehydration due to the disturbance of the plastic on the body functions. Albatross chicks aren't the only seabirds suffering. Seagulls, penguins and many other birds also suffer the same fate. Penguins, for example, are swimmers, so when they swim in terrain full of plastic and most of it gets trapped or entangled, this causes suffocation. and death. Marine mammals are spread far and wide and all share the common enemy of plastic. The main marine mammal most affected is the seal. A free-spirited animal that loves to play in the waves and call to its friends dies every day due to plastic in the ocean. It's not the seals' fault because their natural habitats are slowly being overpopulated by plastic. The main problem seals face is the fact that they have nowhere to turn, so plastic becomes a natural part of their habitat when it isn't. Seals eat plastic which they mistake for their natural diet of fish and soon create the same ideal ending as albatross chicks... middle of paper... but around 1987 they were not enforced. Nowadays these laws are enforced more due to the knowledge gathered based on the conclusions for future studies showing that it is mandatory to reduce the amount of plastic in the oceans because the potential of causing the extinction of marine life as well and thus limiting one of the most anticipated and beneficial industries and life-sustaining products. Bottom line, plastic is damaging our ocean faster than ever. Marine life that is affected are albatross chicks, a form of seabird, as well as marine mammals such as seals and whales. Plastic in the oceans can be reduced through the process of reuse, reduction and recycling. The government is also doing its part to prevent plastic from entering the oceans. Stop damaging our oceans, remove plastic pollution.
