In recent years, the problem of marine plastic pollution has become increasingly serious with the increasing human activities. According to statistics, about 8 million tonnes of plastic rubbish enters the ocean every year globally, most of which comes from land. These plastic wastes gradually decompose in the ocean, releasing toxic substances that cause direct harm to marine organisms. At the same time, plastic rubbish also destroys the balance of the marine ecosystem, affecting the survival and reproduction of marine organisms. In addition, marine plastic pollution poses a potential threat to human health. Studies have shown that plastic particles can enter the human body through the food chain and accumulate in the human body, causing potential harm to human health. In the face of the serious situation of marine plastic pollution, the international community has begun to take action. Many countries and regions have introduced relevant policies to strengthen the management of marine plastic pollution. At the same time, scientific and technological innovation has also provided new ideas and methods for the management of marine plastic pollution. In addition, public awareness-raising and environmental education are also important means to combat marine plastic pollution. By strengthening publicity and education and raising public awareness and attention to marine plastic pollution, more people can be promoted to participate in the government of marine plastic pollution.
