A) By recycling as much plastic as possible, it prevents waste from entering the water.
B) Fishermen are encouraged to recycle their leftover catch back into the water, thereby increasing populations.
C) Recycling chemicals encourages higher levels of reproduction in marine organisms.
D) Purchasing recycled products funds conservation efforts in the ocean.

Answer 1

I think it’s A. By preventing plastic pollution, marine animals will live in a more cleaner and plastic free environment

Answer 2

Answer: A). By recycling as much plastic as possible, it prevents waste from entering the water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marine biodiversity consists of diversity of flora and fauna which survive in brackish to saline water. The marine life is subjected to be damaged by human activities like disposal of plastics, industrial wastes, and radioactive wastes, into the marine water.

The plastic is a non-biodegradable waste which cannot be degraded or decomposed easily. The plastics will be consumed by the marine animals and this will lead to decline in the marine species.

Therefore, recycling of plastic and preventing the plastic is necessary to prevent the loss of marine biodiversity.
