OCEAN pollution is worsening and poorly controlled. A particularly alarming threat right now is ocean plastic pollution. The World Health Organization report, "Annals of Global Health" (2020) presents a comprehensive examination of the multiple dangers to human health and the environment posed by pollution of the seas. Be that as it may, the study finds that ocean pollution and its harmful effects can be controlled and prevented. The report also calls for monitoring of all forms of ocean pollution and the designation of new protected areas to safeguard critical ecosystems, protect vulnerable fish stocks and enhance human health and well-being.
