560 million masks flow into ocean. How to solve the moniting problem

 

　　With the continuous increase of the global population and the continuous acceleration of social development, the marine environment has gradually become a stepping stone for economic development in recent years. Large amounts of garbage accumulated in cities over the years are thrown into the ocean, and oil resources that are fiercely contested between countries are leaked onto the sea in large quantities, all of which cause serious harm to the marine environment and marine life.

 

　　 It is understood that the world discharges more than 10 million tons of trash into the ocean every year, of which plastic trash accounts for 80%. Relevant data shows that almost every minute, a truck-weight of plastic garbage is thrown into the ocean. Every year, more than 8 million tons of plastic are abandoned in the ocean. Together, they can circle the earth more than 400 times.

 

　　 At the same time, according to relevant research, there are at least more than 500 million plastic fragments floating in the world's oceans, with a total mass of more than 260,000 tons. Most plastics are broken up in the ocean and decomposed into particles with a diameter of no more than 5 mm. They melt into every inch of the "skin" in the ocean and can penetrate into the seabed at the deepest 10,000 meters. Garbage pollution has gradually become a "cancerous disease" of the ocean.
