Trash has a major negative effect on the ocean since it is something that shouldn't be there in the first place. The most visible impact trash has on the oceans are ingestion, suffocation, and entanglement of the hundred poor marine species. Plastic is the most thing out of trash found in oceans which seabirds, whales, fish, and turtles mistake for prey. Due to this most of them die of starvation as their stomachs and environment become filled with plastic.
There are some things we can do so trash such as plastic doesn't affect the oceans in the future. We can learn to recycle plastic and certain trash. You can recycle plastic for different things such as making plant pot out of water bottles or throwing food waste out of your garden since it can fertilize your soil. We can also stop using plastic bags in stores and exchanging them for cloth bags. With this, you can help the future animals and the ocean not die due to starvation.
