The Quiet Threat: Recognising the Effects of Trash Pollution on Maritime Ecosystems
Author(s): Philippe Loubet*
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 impac.. Read More»
