Marine plastic pollution - Coggle Diagram

- - - - integral part of our lives
    - - Use of PPE
        
        often discarded
        
        in unscientific ways
      - generating close to 101 tonnes/day
    - - along with
        
        impact of negative human activities
        
        devasting our oceans
      - alarming rise in sea levels
      - could displace millions of people
  - - - footprint is estimated
      - 8-10 million tonnes annually
    - - India is 12th largest source of marine litter
      - projected to become
        
        5th by 2025
    - - documented as one of the top-five
      - rivers dumping plastics into oceans
- - - - End use mangement has lagged
      - Mismanagement of plastic waste
        
        generated in coastal cities and
        
        urban centres
        
        leading to reaching water bodies
      - Land based sources
        
        recognised as main cause
        
        marine plastic pollution
        
        upto 80% of total marine debris
      - Failure to curb
        
        plastic waste
        
        through source segregation
      - common leakage routes
        
        litter accumulated
        
        and carried via
        
        open drains into rivers
        
        and water bodies
      - Ocean
        
        turing warmer, less predictable
        
        and more acidic
        
        causing
        
        decline in fish stocks
        
        and death of coral reefs
        
        Million of tonnes of plastics
        
        dumped into oceans
        
        every year contaminate
        
        atleast 700 species of marine life
        
        Marine pollution
        
        80% originates on land
        
        effective way
        
        tackle pollution on land
        
        Corporates
        
        play a major part
        
        in reducing plastic pollution
        
        unregulated overfishing
        
        already driven many
        
        marine species to extinction
        
        eventually
        
        threaten global food security
    - - Curb land based sources
        
        marine litter must be initial focus
      - understanding this linkage
        
        provide holistic approach
        
        towards addressing the issue
      - relevant
        
        govt bodies
        
        work effectively towards
        
        achieving goal
      - Address
        
        this interwined complex issue
        
        robust multipronged
        
        structured approach
        
        still remains call of the hour
      - Sustainable Ocean Economy
        
        resources of ocean
        
        sustainably harnessed
        
        could multiply economic benefits
        
        while protecting
        
        natural ecosystem
        
        Ocean Panel
        
        emphasis on the fact
        
        Ocean economy
        
        more Imp than ever
        
        post-covid-19 recovery
      - Path for policymakers
        
        achieve sustainable ocean economy
        
        Using science and
        
        data to drive decision-making
        
        Engaging in goal-oriented
        
        ocean planning
        
        De-risking finance
        
        and using innovation
        
        to mobilise investment
        
        Stopping land-based pollution
        
        changing ocean accounting
        
        reflects true value of ocean
      - India
        
        About 250 million people
        
        live within 50km of coast
        
        many of whom depend on
        
        sea for their livelihood
        
        wide-scale colloboration
        
        help of data-drive decision making
        
        goal oriented ocean planning,
        
        mobilising of investment
        
        under innovative models
        
        we can achieve
        
        economic goals sustainably
        
        and reducing the land pollution
  - - - Half of Planet´s Oxygen

- - - - colloboration among
      - stakeholders, governments,
      - businesses and coastal communities.
    - - in four ocean-based solutions
