1. Ghost Fishing: Old fishing nets and fishing tools that are left in the ocean that continue to catch.



2. Entanglement: Fish or other marine animals that get caught in fishing lines or nets.



3. Plastic Bags: Plastic bags are mostly affecting sea turtles. Sea turtles mistake plastic bags for jelly fish which they then eat and most likely suffocate on.



4. Plastic Pellets: Animals mistake the pellets as food. Once they consume it the plastic doesn't break down in their stomach which causes them to never feel hungry and then they die from starvation.
