There are many ways in which rubbish can affect and be harmful to animals. They can get stuck or trapped in rubbish such as old fishing lines, plastic bags and fishing nets. Some eat the rubbish (like sea turtles eat plastic bags because they think it is jellyfish), and then eventually die as the rubbish blocks airways or gets into their stomach and then they are unable to process food. Old cans, and tins can rust and pollute the water, and make it harder to breathe (particularly if it is on a coral reef).
There have been many rules and laws to try to stop the spreading of rubbish, but there are still many bits of rubbish that can hurt animals. Some of the main bits of rubbish would be fishing lines or nets.

∙ 11y agoLitter can harm Ocean animals, because they could eat it. Then that can lead to choking or even worst, death! So, don't ever litter, if you see something pick it up, unless it is really disgusting, then ask someone who doesn't care and ask them to pick it up.

Why do people 'litter'?
Because people are too lazy to go to a bin or some ******* doesn't put a bin nearby. They litter because they don't know what happens and they have no idea that how much damage could cause if you litter. First, when you litter, it stays there. Then the wind happens to go and brings it to the ocean. Then when the water evaporates, it comes to the sun with the garbage and then the Ozone layer from the sun breaks up and the light from the hot sun opens out and shines down with fire that burns us up and then we die. Tip: NEVER LITTER!
