The Impact of Human Pollution on Marine Life: Plastic Pollution
Until recently, humanity believed that irrespective of the amount of pollutants dumped in
the seas and oceans, marine life would be negligibly affected due to these water bodies vastness
and deepness. Nonetheless, recently transpirations point to the contrary as attested to by the
extensive summerly dead-zone in the Gulf of Mexico and the expansive plastic belt in the Pacific
Ocean. The impacts of human pollution on marine life are untellable, with plastic serving as the
leading pollutant threatening the once thriving marine ecosystem globally. Wanton disposal,
irresponsible production of plastic and plastic products and lack of concrete recycling and plastic
control measures are to blame for this pollution. Most of the ocean’s pollutants trace their way
back to human activities on land with factories and land pollution the leading sources of such
pollutants. Pollution not only hampers marine life reproduction but it also kills planktons and
marine flora. Ultimately, the ripple effect affects humans due to a reduction in marine
population, from which food is sourced. Plastics are a leading cause of marine pollution,
hampering marine life reproduction and reducing planktons and flora, on which marine species
depend.
Firstly, plastics find their way into oceans due to lack of stringent environmental
conservation measures, failure to recycle and utter human ignorance and failure to result to other
forms of materials. Eriksen et al. (2014) write that “more than 5 trillion plastic pieces weighing
over 250,000 tons afloat at sea.” The extensiveness of plastic pollution on marine is epitomized
by the ocean gyres of plastic waste that form each summer in various oceans across the globe.
Plastics are a prevalent pollutant due to their buoyancy and lightness. They are easily spread by
water, humans and small animals, ultimately finding their way in large water body masses where
they bl...
