Plastic in our Oceans

Plastic is not biodegradable which means it is forever. All of the plastic that has been created still exists today except for small amounts which have been incinerated. When plastic enters the ocean it breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces. The plastic then is able to enter and contaminate our food chain. Plastic that is not broken down such as plastic bags and six pack can holders are another huge problem to wildlife. Fish and birds can become caught, tangled, and choked to death by these items.
