Welcome to our Ocean Pollution Resource Hub, where you can learn more about the causes, impacts, and solutions to one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time. Whether you're a student, teacher, or advocate, these resources will help you understand the crisis — and how to fight it.

Ocean pollution refers to the introduction of harmful substances like plastics, chemicals, oil, and waste into our oceans. This pollution affects marine life, human health, and the global climate. The most common types include:

• Plastic Pollution: Single-use plastics (bottles, bags, fishing gear) that don’t break down and harm wildlife.

• Oil Spills: Accidental or illegal oil discharge that devastates ecosystems.

• Chemical Runoff: Fertilizers and pesticides that wash into the ocean, causing harmful algal blooms.

• Marine Debris: Abandoned nets, ropes, and trash from ships and coastal areas.

• Sewage and Wastewater: Untreated waste that pollutes coastlines and kills marine species.
  
  

•  Over 8 million tons of plastic enter the ocean every year.

• Over 100,000 marine animals die each year from plastic entanglement or ingestion.

•  Microplastics are now found in seafood, drinking water, and even human blood.

•  Ocean pollution damages ecosystems that support millions of people and species.
