Aquatic waste refers to any unwanted materials or pollutants that end up in water bodies, such as rivers, lakes, and oceans. This waste can include plastic debris, chemicals, and organic matter, which can harm aquatic life and disrupt ecosystems. Proper management of aquatic waste is essential to maintain water quality and protect marine habitats. Sources of aquatic waste can vary widely, including industrial discharges, agricultural runoff, and littering by individuals. Marine life, such as fish and birds, can be severely affected by this waste, leading to health issues and population declines. Efforts to reduce aquatic waste often involve community clean-up initiatives and stricter regulations on waste disposal.
