your views on global warming‚ the fact remains that humans have an impact on the marine ecosystems through waste from chemicals and debris polluting this vast renewable resource. Based upon current scientific evidence‚ emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are projected to cause significant global climate change during the 21st century. Such climate change will create novel challenges for coastal and marine ecosystems that are already stressed from human development‚ land-use change‚ environmental

Thompson 11). If this is the case‚ how does marine debris end up in and around the water? According to Kimberly Amaral with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution‚ marine debris can reach the ocean three ways; being flushed down the toilet or washed down the drain‚ ultimately ending
