In the article “Hawaii’s Beloved Beaches Are Covered In Huge Amount Of Plastic” it states “The results of an aerial survey, released this week by the state’s Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), identified more than 20,000 bits of debris on the main Hawaiian islands — and most of it is plastic.”. This shows that in Hawaii one of the biggest pollution problem is from plastic trash. In the article “What Is Plastic Pollution?” it states “ plastic pollution is when plastic has gathered in an area and has begun to negatively impact the natural environment and create problems for plants, wildlife and even human population.

The effects that pollution has on the ocean are highly brutal, killing and harming Hawaii’s native sea life. Hawaii’s marine life is very important according to the article “Why is Hawaii’s ocean important?”,it states “In many ways--more than we know--we are connected to the ocean.

Anything that goes down a drain in your house or neighborhood eventually makes its way to the ocean.”. This shows that without the ocean native Hawaiians wouldn’t have been able to survive. Bad ocean equals to bad fish, with the disease called mercury is from all the pollution in the water and the tuna fish ( aka the ahi) got this disease inside of it and people are getting cancer from eating the ahi
