Many marine animals, such as sea turtles and various species of fish, are severely affected by plastic pollution in our oceans. They often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, their natural food source, or get entangled in plastic debris like fishing nets. Ingesting plastic can block their digestive systems, leading to starvation, while entanglement can cause injuries or drowning. This widespread problem highlights a critical danger to marine biodiversity.
