Answer and Explanation:

FALSE

Personal boats and watercraft DO contribute to ocean pollution.

Most water vehicles need fuel to be powered and go through the water. This fuel can sometimes go into the water, polluting the surrounding area.

Watercraft that don't use fuel, but instead are man-powered, can still contribute to ocean pollution. People can bring items such as soda cans, beer bottles, fishing equipment, etc., and any of these items tend to be discarded into the water, leading to pollution and degradation of the ecosystem, harming any wildlife that lives there.

I hope this helps!
