The United Nations calls for all countries to work together to improve our planet. They set 17 goals to make Earth, our home, a place full of peace and prosperity, one of them being Goal 14: conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development. Our oceans are one of the planet's most endangered ecosystems due to marine pollution caused by our trash which will greatly affect our diets, environment, and economies. Seafood will be dangerous to consume because of the plastic consumption of sea creatures, ecosystems will be damaged, and the fishing industry could cease. However, as technology improves, so has our ability to clean the ocean. Therefore, we can prevent disastrous outcomes.
