The plastic in the oceans comes from various sources, including land-based sources such as litter, industrial waste, and sewage, as well as ocean-based sources such as fishing nets and other fishing gear. However, the majority of plastic waste in the ocean originates from land, where it is carried by rivers, wind, and waste mismanagement. Plastic waste can take hundreds of years to degrade, breaking down into microplastics that are harmful to marine life and the food chain.
