There's an old saying "Out of sight. out of mind"
People/ships/governments who dispose of trash into the ocean seem to believe in thiat motto.
However trash in the ocean floats around for years.. Especially plastic waste. It builds up into unsightly floating garbage dumps which are a hazard to sea life and can contaminate the water.
Trash which sinks can cover fish spawning beds and change the ecology f the ocean floor.
All in all its like having a restaurant have dogs like the plates clean between diners - after all what they don't know won't hurt them wait yes it will.
