Journal Title: International Journal of Oceanography & Aquaculture - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Plastic debris are widespread and a growing problem in the marine environment. Due to resistance to degradation, plastic wastes are highly problematic for ecosystems. Today over 700 marine species from fish to birds and mammals etc., are estimated to be affected by plastic pollution. This review focuses on a short history of plastic usage in world and primer effects of plastic debris to marine invertebrates and vertebrates.
