Scale of the Crisis

PreviousOcean Pollution ProblemNextEnvironmental Impact

Last updated 5 months ago

Marine pollution has reached unprecedented levels across all oceans:

  • Plastic waste constitutes 80% of marine pollution, with an estimated 11 million metric tons entering our oceans annually []

  • Chemical pollutants from industrial waste

  • Agricultural runoff causing toxic algal blooms

  • Oil spills devastating coastal ecosystems

  • Heavy metals accumulating in marine life

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch [] is just one visible symbol of this global crisis - a massive vortex of debris three times the size of France. But the true scale extends far deeper, with pollutants penetrating from surface to seafloor, from poles to equator, creating dead zones and disrupting marine ecosystems worldwide.

This isn't just another environmental issue - we're witnessing the accelerating collapse of our ocean ecosystems. The evidence is clear, and the need for action is urgent.

Ocean Plastic: The Big Problem

  • By 2050: Oceans will have more plastic than fish

  • Fast Growth: Last 10 years created more plastic than last 100 years

  • Long-Lasting: Plastic stays in oceans for over 500 years

  • Current State: Over 50 trillion plastic pieces in our oceans today
