The pollution problem is growing exponentially due to a combination of increasing consumerism and an increase in the use of plastics in manufacturing the products we use on a daily basis. It is common for these items to be single-use items, which are used only once and then thrown away. Marine debris is most commonly generated from two sources: These include litter left on beaches by beach-goers, debris washed into the ocean by storm water runoff, and litter from beach-goers [1] garbage overflowing from ships, boats, and debris discarded at sea. This includes fishing debris such as plastic strapping from bait boxes, discarded fishing line, and derelict fishing gear.
