The journey to the ocean

The journey to the ocean Have you ever wondered what happens to plastic when it ends up in the ocean? Let's explore how plastic travels, breaks apart, and harms sea animals in its journey through the water. Sea animals Floating plastic in the ocean can trap sea animals like fish and birds or make them think it's food, which can seriously hurt them. Transport Plastics are light and float easily, so wind and water carry them from land to rivers and seas. They often gather in river mouths and bays, causing harmful pollution. Breaking apart Over time, sunlight, waves, and seawater break plastic into smaller pieces, making it easier for sea creatures to accidentally eat them.
