#oceanpollution

Marine debris threatens the ocean and its resources, the economy, and safe navigation. Animals like birds, turtles, marine mammals, and other creatures can die when they accidentally swallow or get tangled up in marine debris.

All national marine sanctuaries face the challenges of marine debris and the harmful impacts that come along with managing this problem. The Marine Debris Resource Collection features resources related to the problem of marine debris, NOAA and sanctuary system programs, and the solution to pollution.

At least 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans every year, and make up 80% of all marine debris from surface waters to deep-sea sediments.

Marine species ingest or are entangled by plastic debris, which causes severe injuries and deaths.

Plastic pollution threatens food safety and quality, human health, coastal tourism, and contributes to climate change.

There is an urgent need to explore the use of existing legally binding international agreements to address marine plastic pollution.

Recycling and reuse of plastic products, and support for research and innovation to develop new products to replace single-use plastics are also necessary to prevent and reduce plastic pollution.

The turtles now

wear plastic rings

In spills of oil,

the birds soak their wings

The corals and their reefs

Are now nothing but bleach't

Plastic bottles and covers

Are filling their appetit'

Their cries are now just echos

Bouncing off the waves

They feel its getting better

But dying, now just takes days

I created some small lino prints for the pathway project “Then and now”. I was researching ways to protect the earth from the climate crisis for another project I had in mind. I then stumbled upon an article saying that raising awareness is very important in the fight for change. I then created these small, simple posters in response to that.

I chose to raise awareness for ocean pollution, and decided to create a poster for the “Protect the oceans” petition (Greenpeace).  As Greenpeace puts it, “From climate change to plastics, to deep sea mining and overfishing- the threats facing our world’s oceans are growing bigger and more urgent by day... Our oceans sustain all life on Earth-now they need us to protect them”
