Ignoring its social roots is one of the main reasons why Thailand's efforts to tackle ocean plastic waste are far from being successful. The documentary A Plastic Ocean helps sensitise the public about the importance of efficient waste management by local communities to reduce marine pollution. The state authorities can no longer treat locals as small, unimportant people to tackle marine plastic pollution. They play an important role in reducing marine plastic pollution. The government should close the disparity gap and empower them by making comprehensive state services available to local communities.
