The issue is that more than just water that goes down Drains. Rain water goes over housetops, parking areas, interstates, and other different Places. Along the way it collects plastic, bacteria and different contaminants. The infected water then goes straight into the ocean.
To stop the this problem we are funding programs to promote picking up trash on the beach. Also we raised the amount you have to pay if you get a littering ticket.
This pollution causes significant issues. Plastic can snare or be eaten by marine animals , and high contamination levels can potentially cause swimmers to be sick.
