Effect of Humans:
-the toxins released by the plastic ends up in fish which eventually end up in us
-some of the toxins are related to diseases such as cancer, birth defects, diabetes, and immune system problems
-it doesn't just affect our health, it also affects our recreational activities
-eventually, all the beautiful beaches we love to visit will transform into something like a landfill
Habitats:
-reefs can be destroyed from the trash thrown into the ocean
-once a reef is destroyed, animals will lose their home and be forced to go find somewhere else to live
Animals:
-the number of dying and extincting animals in the sea because of plastic pollution is increasing yearly
-animals can become tangled in plastic, ingest plastic, along with other things that will affect their health
