Marine litter has a great impact on the environment, yet it's consequences are overlooked by the wider population. This is, in fact one of the reasons why i chose this topic as my Blog's topic. Marine litter is as influential to marine organisms as it is to any normal organism who is exposed to foreign material which can harm them unknowingly. An example which can always be reused is that of the penguin and the beer case plastic circles which can strangle the penguin, if its a newborn as it grows and its neck width increases.
The litter in a marine ecosystem can multiply rapidly if not treated as soon as possible. When a problem is overlooked, it naturally gets worse, this is constant in any case. The renowned fact that litter is unknowingly allowed by the population is accepted as a fault of human irresponsibility that is embedded in our natural behavior. Even tho this is an irresponsibility, it isn't the fault of the whole population due to the simple fact of there being a part of the population helping out in different situations and organizations. The world should be thankful to those individuals who play a major minor role in the restoration of the ecosystems at large.
This blog is the first of many that will inspire and allow fellow environmentalists to inform thereselves about marine ecosystems and its changes as well as pros and cons.
