THE PLASTIC PROBLEM
Every year, 8 million tonnes of plastic are thrown into the ocean. This plastic is concentrated by the oceanic currents in five regions of the world, known as subtropical gyres. Once in the gyres, plastic cannot disappear on its own.
As a result, fishing could disappear by 2048. Corals are expected to have disappeared by 2025.
Alarming forecasts, when you consider that the ocean covers more than 70 % of our planet and is responsible for supporting us: it regulates the climate and absorbs 25 % of the CO2 emitted by human beings and produces half the world's oxygen.
