Ocean pollution poses serious threats to both ocean health and human health. If all the trash on the ocean floor was lifted up, there would be a huge pile of garbage. Pollution like plastic bags can be consumed by sea creatures and kill them, disrupting the ocean's ecosystem. Various forms of pollution like oil spills, toxic waste dumping, and trash dumping harm ocean life and can also negatively impact human health through things like Hepatitis or AIDS. Toxic waste is especially damaging as it can kill ocean animals and pose health risks to humans. Significant amounts of pollution enter the oceans each year from various sources.
This PowerPoint was made for a biology class to help inform students on the Georgia Southern campus about the problems and solutions facing sea turtles and the coral reefs.
This is a presentation which has ideal details of content related to plastics and its effects.It contains information edited from wikipedia and other sources. Hope its useful for learning kids.

1A: THE HUMAN OCEAN: 20th CENTURY CHANGES
THE GARBAGE PATCH-Underwater image of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch which might look like a zone of death but there is still life here in what is called the "NEUSTON", a floating ecosystems. The important understanding here is that even though the plastic problem is notable and scary, the plastic is mixed together with living creatures.....SO lets thick about....... How Plastic Cleanup Threatens the Oceans Living Islands
Population
In the relatively short span of time over the last half a century (my lifetime) the population on planet Earth has more than doubled. I was born in 1959, and in that year the global population passed the 3 billion mark. By my 40th birthday in 1999, the number of people on Earth had doubled to 6 billion. IN the last 19 years, we have added another 1.5 billion. Currently there are about 7.54 billion people alive here. We add about 10,000 an hour, 240,000 a day, or about 90 million per year. Over a 1.5 billion people are starving. People need to eat.
The oceans provided enough in the beginning of the 20th century when the population was less than 2 billion. Advances in fishing technology with larger vessels and refrigeration allowed boats to start the global feeding frenzy. The fish were free, and fleets driven for profit took as much as they could from the sea. It still happens today but there are a lot less fish. Stocks of migrating tuna will be depleted by 2050 so that commercial fishing for them will not be viable.
Petrochemicals and Waste
By the time I was born there had already been major changes. We had been burning fuel for 200 years and using newly synthesized petro-based "augmented" hydrocarbons intensively for 50 years. We burn 10 times more now. We have developed many more hydrocarbon based chemicals since then. Near the time of my birth a woman ecologist by the name of Rachael Carson had amassed data and helped expose an enormous threat. Hundreds of new chemicals had been developed, many of which were being added into the environment purposefully to eradicate pests with little knowledge about lasting effects. Life died. Birds took a serious hit. Farm animals were falling over dead after drinking water tainted with DDT, a chlorinated hyrdocarbon. DDT was finally banned in the U.S. in seventies, worldwide in 2001, but is still in the soil and sea. And believe or not the DDT ban is still controversial, some say it could save millions of lives, those that die from Malaria. Unfortunately these critics don’t get the fact that many more humans will die in the future if we destroy our environment. It’s not just about humans. Ironic and sad is the fact that after banning DDT here in the US, the US companies that made it continued to produce it and sell it overseas for almost 30 years. There are still large amounts of toxic chemicals introduced into the soil, lakes, rivers and oceans every year. Another petroleum-based product is plasti.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. This picture shows that if
there were to be a person to
lift up the ocean then there
would be a whole pile of
trash on the ocean floor.
This is harming ocean health
and our health as well.
3. The sea creatures can
consume the pollution
(plastic bags) and die. When
so many of one species of sea
life dies the whole ecosystem
is thrown off.
4. For animals ocean
pollution can cause the
animals to died then the
who ecosystem is thrown
off.
For humans ocean
pollution has caused
people to get tested for
Hepatitis and AIDS.
This is caused by the
harmful wastes being
put into the ocean.
5. Oil Spills
Toxic Wastes
Dumping of harmful materials into the ocean
6. Toxic Waste is the most harmful form of pollution
because it can kill the ocean life and can harm
humans.
7. Water is the main source of life
About 1.4 billion pounds of trash is put into the ocean.
Ocean pollution also includes the fertilizer that we use
for the plants that we grow (Different types of oils
used)
