Did you know? 

 •  Marine debris in the world’s oceans causes harm to  underwater environments and wildlife.

•  In 2008, 10,600 divers removed 219,528 lbs (99.57 tons)  of debris from over 1,000 miles of underwater terrain, 
an average of 25 pounds per diver.

 •  One million plastic bags are used every minute of the day  and almost three million tons of plastic are used to bottle 
water globally every year.  Toxic chemicals in the 4.5 trillion cigarette filters littered • 
worldwide every year threatens the wellbeing of marine life.

 •  Nearly 80 percent of all marine debris is plastic. In some  parts of the ocean plastic outweighs plankton 6:1. 

 •  An estimated 46,000 pieces of plastic litter alone are  floating on every square mile of ocean, 70 percent of 
which will eventually sink.

 •  Plastics do not biodegrade. When plastic debris meets  water it remains for centuries, breaking down slowly into
smaller fragments and finally into plastic dust.

 •  Aluminum cans take up to 100 years to degrade and  6-pack holder rings 450 years.
 It takes glass bottles one million years to biodegrade in the  •  natural environment.
 Entanglement and ingestion of fishing line, nets, rope and  •  other debris has been reported in more than 260 animal 
species worldwide.

 •  An estimated 100,000 marine mammals including dolphins, whales, seals and sea turtles choke or get tangled in debris every year. And 86 percent of all sea turtles are affected by marine debris.

• More than 1 million seabirds are killed by litter each year.
