A new study suggests that approximately 8 billion pieces of plastic enter our oceans every year, contaminating the water and endangering wildlife. Every year, an estimated 8 billion pieces of plastic make their way into our oceans. This is a major environmental hazard, polluting the water and endangering marine life. The research, conducted by scientists at the University of Georgia, shows that the majority of the plastic comes from land-based sources, such as litter and waste from industrial sites and agricultural activities. This plastic pollution is a serious problem that requires urgent attention. Scientists are calling for more stringent regulations and policies to help protect our oceans and the wildlife that inhabit them.
