This presentation and report explore the current environmental issue of plastic pollution and its detrimental effects on marine ecosystems. We examine the factors contributing to this pollution, including consumer habits and waste management failures. The presentation will detail how trophic structures and food webs are disrupted, highlighting the role of keystone species. Additionally, we will identify the abiotic factors of marine ecosystems impacted by plastic waste, discuss human contributions to this crisis, and propose actions for mitigation and reversal of its long-term consequences.
