Marine debris is not just ugly it is dangerous
• Discarded debris damages habitat by breaking or smothering important ecosystems such as coral reefs.
• Debris in the ocean is often difficult to see and can cause damage to vessels.
• Derelict fishing gear continues to catch fish and other animals.
• Marine debris is often mistaken by wildlife for food and can lead to starvation and death.
• The most graphic impact is entanglement of wildlife such as seabirds, whales, and turtles resulting in injury, illness, suffocation, starvation, and death.
