How many pounds of trash do you think is being thrown into the ocean? How much of it do you think is plastic? millions upon millions of pounds of plastic are being thrown into the ocean accidentally and purposefully. The plastic ocean is a documentary about how we are throwing plastic into the ocean and what we can do to prevent plastic from being eaten by sea life and humanity when we fish and how it affects both sea life and humans.
Mainly, when you think of how much fish there is in the ocean you have also think of how many types of fish are already contaminated, which fish you can and can't eat, and of the certain species of fish is endangered and on the brink of extinction. Well, what if the was and the ships that were carrying 60 shipping containers full of small plastic beads were to be overturned by a typhoon? All or most of the containers would have fallen off the ships. Those containers would sooner or later release all of the bags of small beads into the ocean due to the fact that containers would be crashing into each other and breaking open, this would have an impact on the sea life around the area in the container broke open. Sooner or later the food chain would have plastic beads. these plastic beads would end up in fish and be sold to people that have no idea the fish have plastic beads in them. This affects the fish due to the fact that they would die to not being able to digest anything with a stomach full of the plastic bead and they would die by starvation.
A beach is a beautiful place where you can enjoy the sand and the oceans at the same time. but, when there is plastic being thrown on the oceans shore and there are plastics being buried in the sand. The beach isn't the same, it is littered with trash and plastics alike.but that isn't the only problem when plastics are burned they release chemicals that were used to create the plastic in the first place and these chemicals can cause cancer or affect your body in many other ways. There are many places in the world that don't have a solution to dealing with or recycling plastics.
The ocean's food chain is very large and important. This food chain is also so very vulnerable because of the fact that if one small squid eats a piece of plastic that squid will be eaten by a fish and the small piece of plastic might be joined by another type of plastics as it goes up the food chain. until it reaches us, humans. And when we realize that their plastic in the very fish we cut open we will have to take action and prevent plastic from entering the ocean's food chain.
