 Marine pollution is a rising problem in today’s world. Our ocean is being swamped with two main types of pollution: chemicals and trash. Chemical contamination, or nutrient pollution, is concerning for health, environmental, and economic reasons. This kind of pollution occurs when human activities, notably the use of fertilizer on farms, lead to the runoff of chemicals into waterways that eventually flow into the ocean. The increased concentration of chemicals, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, in the coastal ocean endorses the growth of algal blooms, which can be poisonous to wildlife and harmful to humans. The negative effects on health and the environment instigated by algal blooms hurt local fishing and tourism trades. Marine trash includes all manufactured products—most of them plastic—that end up in the ocean.  Littering, storm winds, and poor waste management all donate to the accumulation of this debris, 80 percent of which comes from sources on land.
