More than 6 million tons of garbage are thrown into the sea every year
According to Greenpeace, more than 6.4 million tons of waste are thrown into the sea each year, of which 60 to 80% are plastics, and 70% of them are sunk to the bottom.
The organization says people are " strangling " the sea with plastic waste, and although many countries spend money to clean the beach, garbage is constantly being dumped into the sea.
According to the UN Environment Program data, in 2005, there were 13,000 pieces of plastic bags per square kilometer. About 80% of undersea waste originates from the mainland.
The report says food, beverage, cigarette packs, cans, and fishing nets are the most common types of trash in the seabed, which are harmful to marine life when swallowed.
In addition, plastic waste is also the parasite of strange creatures. About 267 marine species are affected by these rubbish, some of which are threatened with extinction. Only in the Spanish Mediterranean Sea survey, it was found that 75% of the studied turtles swallowed plastic waste, which can clog their digestive tract and cause them to die.
