Fish are Being Outnumbered by Plastic!!!

[Natisha Ram]

Plastic is building up in the oceans where fish develop and grow. A study has found that in Hawaii plastic outnumber baby fish by seven to one. Plastic is also being ingested by marine life and can cause health complications. There were seven times more plastics than there were larval fish. When plastic is ingested by one fish those species that eat the fish also get affected by it. They have done tests on fish and have found plastic ingested in them. I would say that if we don't start to control this now it will affect us in the future by a great deal. It is already a negative sign that fish are being outnumbered and if we don't take action soon, our oceans will be full of plastic. There are already ways in which people are trying to prevent the use of plastic like for example using metal straws instead of plastic ones but it will take more than that to help prevent damage in our environment.

What are your thoughts on this subject? What do you think we could do to prevent more plastic from going into our oceans? Do you think people are going to find ways to prevent using plastic or take no action whatsoever?
