Plastic Soup refers to all of the plastic polluting the ocean: plastic bags floating on the surface as well as the micro-and nanoplastics in the seawater.Over one million marine animals(mammals, fish, endangered turtles, and birds) are killed each year due to plastic debris in the ocean. Marine animals get entangled in plastic waste, limiting their motion and ability to feed, and causing injury and infection.Ingesting plastic can cause internal organ damage, fatal intestinal blockage ,and can also lead to starvation as the plastic give the animal the illusion of feeling full. Plastics also act as hosts for invasive species and contain toxic additives that are distributed into the water and enter the food chain.
