The journey of plastic through the ocean
The oceans are full of life, but unfortunately also of plastic. Did you know that plastic waste can break down in the sea into microscopic particles, travel thousands of kilometres on ocean currents and enter the food chain? How much plastic actually ends up in the oceans, where does it come from, and what happens to it beneath the surface? And is there a way to genuinely reduce the amount of plastic waste in the oceans?
