What kills marine life the most?
Globally, 100,000 marine mammals die every year as a result of plastic pollution. This includes whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals and sea lions. There are two principle ways that encountering marine debris can be fatal for these creatures: ingestion (eating) or entanglement in plastic-based fishing gear.
Is marine life in danger?
There are not just one or two marine animals in danger of extinction. Instead, a huge percentage of marine life is dying off at alarming and unsustainable rates.
