Plastic Oceans

Swim on the beach, enjoy its waves, play in the sand under a sunny day are one of the most pleasing pleasures that nature gives us, however today our seas are highly contaminated by plastic waste that They're causing a lot of damage to the marine ecosystem.

REFERENCE

Among the main plastic contaminants is polyethylene, raw material which manufactures plastic bags, foils and plastic boards films and containers As bottles and their abrasive microspheres spilled from inside and Polyester, material with which the meshes and fishing nets are made; Main killers of marine fauna.

REFERENCE

We are only the third generation that uses plastics in bulk. In sixty years of consumption the plastic has colonized the sea. In the Netherlands, scientists have found remains in the stomach of the 95% of the birds analyzed; in Germany have been found chemicals from the plastic have been found in the reproductive systems of animals, while in California, increases the number of whales and dolphins found dead with their guts filled with plastic pieces.

We have made that the plastic colonice the sea on the surface, a few meters under water and at a thousand meters of depth. This material will remain down there for centuries especially if is at great depth, because there is less oxygen and nothing of light, the two factors that help the decomposition of the plastic, so it will stay there for several hundred years.

It is estimated that every year the pollution of the oceans by plastic waste increases to millions of tonnes per Km2, mainly in the Pacific and Indian Oceans as Asian Countries are the largest plastic producers in theThe year 2022 is estimated that the oceans estarám populated by floating islands caused by this immense plastic pollution.

REFERENCE

The fact is that little by little the oceans are asphyxiated by garbages, lacking in oxygen, acidificación, spilled of nutrients proceeding from the agriculture and several industrial activities, and another added human beings; it has already detected more than 400 areas died in the world and they grow non-stop. Today there are many organizations and groups for the protection and conservation of the environment are struggling hard to remove plastic waste in all seas of the world, but this serious problem persists due to the continuity of such pollution and the total disregard of the environmental laws created to stop this nefarious phenomenon.

REFERENCE

We know that we cannot aspire to the seas to become what they were about 100 years ago, but we need a sanitation global, by marine biology and because quite a few people could be fed their biodiversity. So it's time to increase awareness and educate the community on the major ecological problems suffer our seas, there is a need to avoid throwing plastic garbage on the shores of the beaches; enjoy them but in a healthy way and efficient.
