What's Happening to The Ocean?
Every day countries around the world pour millions of tons of toxic garbage into the ocean causing mass die-offs of plants and animals.
One of these toxins is plastics.
There are six times more plastic bits than plankton in huge areas of the ocean.
Fish, birds and sea mammals mistake these for food.
Millions are dying
Plastics contain PCB's (polychlorinated biphenols) - manmade poisonous molecules that are now in air, water and food.
Humans can sustain one to three parts per million (ppm). Dolphins, whales and sea lions often have thousands ppm and can be legally classified as toxic dumps.
The bodies of thousands of dolphins, sea lions, whales and birds are washing up on shores around the world.
