One of our greatest natural resources has become a garbage dump and the results are taking a toll on human and marine health.
Billions of pounds of pollution end up in our oceans each year. This is why understanding the devastating effects of pollution on our beaches is the first step to fixing the problem.
Solutions for marine pollution include prevention and cleanup. Changing society’s approach to plastic use will be a long and challenging process.
Cleanup, in contrast, may be impossible for some items. Many types of debris do not float, so they are lost deep in the ocean. Nonetheless, it doesn't stop us from taking an action.
Polluted beaches pose a serious health risk for people who come in contact with dirty water or sand. Bacteria, fertilizers, animal and human waste, and trash can cause a range of illnesses for beachgoers.
The most common is an upset stomach, but swimmers can also suffer neurological disorders, respiratory ailments, pinkeye and more.
