River Pollution Makes the Ocean’s Plastic Problem Worse. Here’s How to Stop It.

This cycle harms marine life and can affect scuba divers’ experiences underwater. To combat this issue, individuals can help by reducing personal waste, supporting local clean-up efforts, and spreading awareness about the importance of protecting our waterways.
