How plastic pollution affects Marine Life

 Effects on Marine Life

A large number of marine species are known to be harmed and/or killed by plastic debris, which could harm their survival, especially since many are already endangered by other forms of human activities like; oil spills, fishing and drainage water spilling.

Not only that but many animals think that its their prey and chew them, then they choke and die. For example Leather back turtles eat jellyfish so when they see a plastic bag it looks like a jellyfish and they eat it (Choke and die).



Marine life can also get them entangled and hurt their limbs if they get stuck. In one coincident a animal can get tangled on their neck and again choke and die.

Worlds most polluted Lake.

Lake Karachay   Lake Karachay, sometimes spelled Karachai or Karachaj, was a small lake in the southern Ural mountains in central Russia. Starting in 1951, the Soviet Union used Karachay as a dumping site for radioactive waste from Mayak, the nearby nuclear waste storage and reprocessing facility, located near the town of Ozyorsk. Today, the  Lake Karachay Fish from Lake Karachay  and its surrounding habitats are almost   completely uninhabited. Of the  fish  and   other aquatic species that survive  there , all are considered to carry high levels of lethal radiation.        Fact: Standing on the shore of Russia's Lake Karachay for an hour would give you 600 roentgens of radiation. Meaning of roentgens is:  the international unit of x-radiation or gamma radiation equal to the amount of radiation that produces in one cubic centimeter of dry air at 0°C and standard atmospheric pressure ionization of either sig...
