Many marine lives just swallow them straight away. They think some of the trash is similar to what they eat every day. Like a sea turtle will think the plastic bag is the jelly fish. Plastic will break up into small pieces, but not disappear. Small creatures will eat them without knowing themselves actually eating. When there are bigger pieces of rubbish. For example, plastic bag, rubbish bag and plastic sheets will wrap the fish or its fin easily and make them unable to move and die or make them unable to breath. Bigger pieces of hard plastic will affect marine life by damaging the sea bed or the grass and make the environment hard to survive. -
