WHAT IS THE MARINE


GARBAGE?
The marine garbage is any object produced by
the man who, on having been rejected,
eliminated or abandoned, enters the coastal
and marine ambiences. This can happen of
direct or indirect form.

FROM WHERE IT
COMES ?
All residue or material that is
disposed of, transports or stores in
an inadequate way can turn into
marine garbage.

Garbage and diverse objects


originated from urban and rural
localities, including agricultural
fields and mining areas located
to thousands of kilometers..

Systems inappropriate
collection, transport and
disposal of solid waste in
dumps may release the
garbage collected and make it
by action of the wind ends in
the marine environment.

TERRESTRIAL SOURCES
The inadequate disposition of garbage as result
of activities that happen close to the shore like:
to camp, to go to the beach, to go fishing,
sports events, cultural festivals, tourism and
commerce generates marine garbage.

DAMAGE TO THE ECOSYSTEMS


OF COSTA AND MARINE

Impairs the landscape; Negative impact on coastal marine


ecosystems.

Toxic substances as the present ones in the batteries,


batteries, packings of insecticides; they have the ability to
pollute and cause the death of marine life.
Abandoned nets, plastic covers, and other garbage can
suffocate and destroy reef coral, algae and seagrasses
ecosystems.
The same happens with mangrove swamps and estuaries that are
vital like areas of reproduction, refuge and feeding for a big variety
of marine species.

In the year

and fifty

Unless we change
our behavior in 2050
there will be at sea
more trash fish.

WHAT IS THE
COMPOSITION OF
THE GARBAGE IN THE
SEA?
The marine garbage consists up to 80 %
(eighty percent) for plastic, which for its
durability in the ambience - of more than
hundreds of years - constitutes the biggest
danger for the life in the sea. The remainder
20 % (twenty percent) consists of glass, wood
and paper.

Approximately 80% (eighty


percent) of waste that end up in
the sea from sources on land and an estimated 80% of all
such materials are made of
plastic.
But we modify our behavior as
soon as possible, by 2050 there
will be more plastic trash at sea.
