    Plastic pollution endangers wildlife and ecosystem health. Large plastic debris can entangle marine mammals and fish, preventing their escape. Microplastics, on the other hand, disrupt the biological functions of marine organisms, affecting their growth, reproduction, and overall health. Overall, plastic pollution poses serious risks to wildlife and ecosystems.
