Description
Our oceans are amazing! They are filled with wonderful sea creatures and they’re essential for a healthy planet. But they are in trouble, with huge amounts of plastic entering into them every day.
It’s estimated that there are more pieces of plastic in the ocean than visible stars in the milky way. That’s a lot of plastic! So how can we stop plastic from our homes and streets from ending up floating in oceans far away? By becoming ocean changemakers!
Ocean Plastics and Marine Debris explores how ocean systems and currents bring plastics together. Tracey Gray examines marine debris, the break up of plastics, how marine animals eat plastic by mistake and then how it works along food webs all the way to your dinner plate!
This exciting book shows us how to be part of the plastic solution. Practical tips for reducing our everyday plastic use are included, along with fascinating facts on how local communities, designers and innovators are working on bold new ideas to protect our oceans.
Together we can be the ocean changemakers of the future and help reduce plastic waste in the oceans!
