Marine debris is any trash or litter that ends up in a marine environment. This harms wildlife through entanglement, ingestion, and disturbs the habitat of many species of animals. This becomes a global problem when it is a danger to human health. Nails, syringes, and glass can cause harm to people on the beach. On top of that, trash in the waterway increases the amount of chemicals destroying our water quality.
