When it rains, the rainwater mixes with trash and other pollutants and it is carried down our storm drains and into our oceans. Gasoline and sewage spills from boats and ships also contribute to the pollution problems. Also if people do not clean up there trash and just leave it into our community then when it rains, the rain picks up all the trash and then goes into sewer drains, and the sewer drains lead to the ocean.
