Littering is such a serious concern with oceans because it destroys the habitat of the marine life and is the reason of fatal consequences for countless sea creatures. The Scottish government has acknowledged littering as a serious problem in their oceans and have begun a process to advance strategies that will work to prevent harm to the marine life and the environment.[8]
