Garbage pollution poses a silent but significant threat to marine ecosystems worldwide. This paper delves into the various impacts of garbage pollution on marine life, habitats, and ecosystems. Through an examination of current research and case studies, it highlights the far-reaching consequences of this environmental menace and calls for urgent action to mitigate its effects. Marine ecosystems are among the most diverse and productive on Earth, providing critical services such as oxygen production, carbon sequestration, and food resources. However, these ecosystems face a growing threat from garbage pollution. The indiscriminate disposal of waste, particularly plastic, into marine environments has become a pervasive issue with detrimental effects on marine life, habitats, and ultimately, ecosystem health. This paper aims to explore and elucidate the multifaceted impacts of garbage pollution on marine ecosystems, drawing attention to the urgency of addressing this silent menace.
