From the passage, the two contexts which support the key idea of pollution relating to threatening the life of marine diversity are provided as follows:
- Worldwide, hundreds of marine species have been negatively impacted by marine debris, which can harm or kill an animal when ingested or they become entangled, and can threaten the habitats they depend on.
- This lost or abandoned gear is a major problem because it can continue to capture and kill wildlife, damage sensitive habitats, and even compete with and damage active fishing gear.
What is marine life?
Marine life is referring to the aquatic plants and animals that are present inside deep in the water.
In both of the contexts, it has been focused on the marine debris, that is, the harmful waste that is being flown into the water like plastic materials, broken utensils, discarded products that are not being used by the industries, and many more things will affect the marine life present under the water. This will result in the extinction of many aquatic species, killing the water animals and plants, destroying the fishing gear, and most importantly polluting the water and making it unfit.
Question's missing part:
The complete passage is given as follows:
Marine debris is a persistent pollution problem that reaches throughout the entire ocean and Great Lakes. Our ocean and polluted with a wide variety of marine debris, ranging from tiny microplastics, smaller than 5 mm, to derelict fishing gear and vessels. Worldwide, hundreds of marine species have been negatively impacted by marine debris, which can harm or kill an ingested or become entangled, and can threaten the habitats they depend on. Marine debris can also interfere with potentially pose a threat to human health. All marine debris comes from people with a majority of it originating on land and entering the ocean and Great Lakes through waste management practices, storm-water discharge, and extreme natural events such as tsunamis and hurricanes. Some derelict fishing gear can also come from ocean-based sources. This lost or abandoned gear is a major problem because it captures and kills wildlife, damages sensitive habitats, and even competes with and damages active fishing gear.
Therefore, the problem of marine debris has been highlighted in the provided passage.
