Best Answer

Garbage in the ocean is a threat to penguins and any marine life. Plastic ropes and ties get tangled around necks and flippers. Plastic bags get mistaken for fish or jellyfish and get swallowed, where they often build up in the animals' stomachs. Plastic bottles eventually disintegrate into tiny pieces of plastic which are swallowed by even very small creatures.
