Littering and dumping directly linked to human indifference is disrupting the ocean ecosystem in such ways that are beyond imagination. Many products we use today travelling for years in water endangering marine life along the way. Where does this pollution come from? Where does it go?

The former includes boats and ships- from the smallest sail boats to the largest container ship- along with offshore rigs and drilling platforms while the later includes combined sewer overflows and storm drains, landfills, manufacturing and sewage treatment plants. Another group of land-based sources include beachgoers who leave behind them their picnic garbage and cigarette filters on the beach to be washed out by the tides.
