The Biological Impacts of Marine Debris Composition: Examining the Persistent, Solid, and Manufactured Waste in Waterway

This article explores the detrimental effects of marine debris on ecosystems, specifically focusing on the composition of persistent, solid, and manufactured waste found in lakes, oceans, and waterways. It also highlights the negative consequences of plastic pollution and the dangers of synthetic materials. The review covers various impacts such as ingestion, pollutant concentration, entanglement, and transportation of invasive species. Furthermore, it sheds light on the harmful hitchhikers and empty calories present in debris, posing a serious threat to wildlife. This study aims to raise awareness about the urgent need for proper waste disposal and management practices to mitigate these issues.
