Why is plastic life dangerous to marine life?

Ocean litter is any manufactured or processed solid waste that enters the ocean. It can range from newspapers to fishing gear. Marine debris, another name for ocean litter, is posing a large threat because it is killing thousands of sea animals and decreasing biodiversity. Every year 100,000 sea animals are killed due to plastics in our oceans. Humans are directly affecting the lives of thousands of sea animals by inaccurately disposing of plastic and other ocean litter.
