"pollution is a clear and obvious danger to marine ecosystems. Floating garbage, oil slicks glinting in the sunlight, or the sight of diseased animals are all disturbing and easily understood evidence of the severity and effects of ocean pollution. Other types of pollution are less obvious and harder to assess. For example, noise pollution has only recently been recognized as a threat in the oceans"

"Picking up other people’s rubbish, if it is safe, is an easy way to help reduce pollution on our beaches and in the of the ocean. Some people pick up beach rubbish in groups – this is called a beach clean-up. Beach clean-ups are doing great things to reduce marine pollution."
