Abstract

It is estimated that more than 8 million tons of plastic enter the oceans each year. Islands of plastic are now being reported by the oceans, while disintegrated micro plastics are permeating our food, our water and even our own bodies. Marine debris cost the economies of countries in the region US$10.8 billion in 2015, of which the fishing and aquaculture industry lost US$1.47 billion. The top six countries responsible for marine waste are in East Asia.
