How can trash harm organisms that live in the oceans?

Trash in the oceans can harm organisms through ingestion and entanglement. Marine animals may mistake plastic debris for food, leading to blockages, malnutrition, or death. Additionally, entangled creatures can suffer injuries or be unable to move, affecting their ability to hunt or escape predators. Moreover, toxins from plastics can leach into the water, disrupting the health of marine ecosystems.
