 note = {Plastic in the ocean is an environmental issue that has been gaining attention in recent years. It not only affects marine habitats, but ingestion or entanglement can also kill marine life. The final destination of plastic waste is not yet known, but some researchers believe that such debris may be entering our food chain as plastic molecules are broken down and absorbed by marine life. In this study, we are going to discuss some of the effects that plastic in the ocean may have on marine environment and how it may be entering our food chain. Finally, we surveyed a local beach in order to verify the ratio of plastic within the litter found on the shore and found out that most of it was in fact plastic-related.},
