Marine pollution refers to the introduction of harmful substances into the ocean and other water bodies. This pollution can come from various sources, including industrial waste, plastic debris, and oil spills. These contaminants can harm marine life, disrupt ecosystems, and affect human health through contaminated seafood. The effects of marine pollution are widespread, impacting not only the environment but also economies that rely on clean oceans. Coral reefs, fisheries, and coastal communities can suffer as pollution degrades habitats and reduces biodiversity. Efforts to combat marine pollution include stricter regulations, cleanup initiatives, and public awareness campaigns.
