Trash Talk: Impacts
How does marine debris impact the ocean? Marine species often get tangled in debris from fishing nets to six-pack rings. Often times, many animals mistake plastic debris for food and eat it. This fills their stomachs with material they are unable to digest. Debris can also damage important ocean habitats. Part of the "Trash Talk" series.
