Marine pollution affects the ecosystem of the sea and can affect the quality of life for those on the shore.

Individuals, businesses, and governments should stop allowing littering on beaches, and dumping sewage and garbage into our seas. The ocean is not a rubbish dump. Many cities in the US, notably New York, pollute the ocean with tons of refuse on a daily basis.

Oil, plastics, and toxic chemicals should never be released or dumped into the ocean. Tighter restrictions are needed on industrial waste discharges, and more environmental awareness is necessary to curb harmful public practices (such as dumping used motor oil into drains).

Boats and watercraft should be monitored and licensed, so that leakage from motors and bilges do not enter waterways and lakes.
