## Resource

New research reveals ocean plastic pollution is far worse than previously thought—11 million metric tons dumped annually, with projections soaring to 33 million by 2050 if nothing changes. This global crisis is devastating marine life, infiltrating ecosystems and food chains through microplastics. Scientists are calling for urgent action: smarter policies, innovation in recycling, and biodegradable alternatives to curb production and improve waste management—because the ocean’s survival depends on our choices today.
