Discarded shopping trolley polluting the seabed. Rubbish that is not biodegradable will persist in the environment if not disposed of correctly. Plastic waste can have a severe long-term effect on the marine environment, both as large items entangling and choking animals, and as it breaks up into microscopic fragments that can enter the food chain. Larger objects can also provide habitats and shelter for a variety of marine organisms. Photographed in the Mediterranean, off the coast of Spain. | |
