Some of our most beautiful and elegant sea animals are getting completely wiped out or close to it. For example our beautiful majestic sea turtle's are dying by the hundred's monthly because of trash. One of their main diet's is jellyfish and when plastic bag's go into our ocean there is a 30% chance it will kill a sea animal. When plastic bag's get thrown into our ocean they look like jellyfish when they're floating which, unfortunately is a sea turtle's main diet. So, when a sea turtle is looking for food and it happens to see a plastic bag the turtle will eat it because it remind's them of a jellyfish because its shape and movement in the water. And if a turtle happen's to eat a plastic bag it will either clog it's digestive system causing it to starve to death or it will get stuck in it's throat and cause it to choke. And the same thing happens to our beautiful dolphins.
