Slide 1: Introduction
Title: What is Plastic Pollution?
Content:
Brief definition of plastic pollution.
Statistics on plastic waste generation and accumulation.
Visuals: Image of plastic waste in nature or an infographic on plastic pollution.
Slide 2: Types of Plastic Pollution
Title: Types of Plastic Pollution
Content:
Macroplastics: Large plastic items like bottles, bags, and fishing nets.
Microplastics: Tiny plastic particles resulting from the breakdown of larger plastics.
Nanoplastics: Even smaller particles that are less than 0.1 micrometers.
Visuals: Images or diagrams illustrating each type.
Slide 3: Impact on Marine Life
Title: How Plastic Pollution Affects Marine Life
Content:
Sea Turtles: Ingestion of plastic bags mistaken for jellyfish.
Seabirds: Ingestion of plastic debris leading to starvation and death.
Marine Mammals: Entanglement and ingestion issues for species like whales and dolphins.
Visuals: Photos or diagrams of affected species with captions.

Giant Pandas: Risks from plastic debris in their habitat.
Visuals: Images or data showing the impact on these species.
Slide 6: Habitat Disruption
Title: Plastic Pollution and Habitat Disruption
Content:
Coral Reefs: Effects of plastic smothering and pollution on reef health.
Mangroves and Marshlands: Impact on these crucial habitats for endangered species.
Visuals: Photos or diagrams showing plastic pollution in these habitats.

2. 20 Sea Animals Affected by Plastic Pollution Sea Turtle Dolphin Sea horse Sperm Whales Squid Octopuses Sea Lions Seals Clown fish Walrus Starfish Lobster Hammerhead Tiger shark Sword fish Jellyfish Crab Humpback Whale Eel Catfish

3. Zones in which the Sea Creatures live Different plastic is found in different zones as some float while some sink

5. Plastic At Different Levels

6. Turtles - Turtles are also known to become entangled in a variety of other items, including plastic twine, six-pack rings, plastic packaging, plastic chairs, balloons and their string, sheet plastic, and boat mooring line Dolphin - PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), DDTs (trichloroethane), and dioxins are some of the most common. Crab -A University of Hull study of crabs off the Yorkshire coast revealed that a plastic additive called oleamide causes hyperactivity in the creatures. Whale - A recent study of marine life found that flexible plastic like plastic bags and packaging is responsible for the largest proportion of deaths from debris, primarily due to gastric obstructions Lobster - Microplastic fiber pollution in the ocean affects larval lobsters at each stage of their development, according to new research. Type of Plastic Affecting Marine Animals Seals - Microplastic as it is very small are eaten by seals and choke them which can cause death. Octopuses - Plastic like glass bottles, cans and caps  affect the octopuses. Hammer head sharks and sword fish are affected by plastic as it damages their stomach
