Answer 1

Plastic pollution is currently having a significant and widespread impact on the interconnected ocean ecosystem. It affects marine life through ingestion and entanglement, disrupts habitats, and contributes to the broader issue of microplastics entering the food chain. While tsunamis and hurricanes can cause localized but severe damage, and oil drilling poses serious threats as well, plastic pollution is pervasive and influences ocean health on a global scale.
