There are 21,000 pieces of #plastic in the #ocean for each person on Earth. The trillions of plastic particles ā a āplastic smog,ā in the words of the researchers ā weigh roughly 2.4 million metric tons and are doubling about every 6 years, per study conducted by a team of international researchers led by Marcus Eriksen of the #5GyresInstitute, based in Santa Monica. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0281596 #PlasticPollution #fishing #oceans #seas #PublicHealth #beaches

@ariaflame I advocate action now - by individuals, states and localities, countries. #LawoftheSea https://www.noaa.gov/law-of-sea-convention came into force in 1994 - it is now 2023. The seas and all their diverse life have in the interim suffered incalculable and irreparable harm. #Oceans #Seas #ClimateCrisis #OverFishing #PlasticPollution
