Abstract

Today oceans are also being encroached by the entity called pollution. The root cause of this is using the waterways as a mode of transportation, fishing and some other reasons. Such pollution is causing threat to the aquatic ecology. As a result of this, the marine ecology is greatly under threat. Due to indiscriminate fishing the fish in the ocean is declining at a rapid pace. Looking at the same, a Dutch teenager, Boyan Slat originally dreamed up to develop a system, at the age of 16 to clean up the same while he was diving in Greece and first saw for himself the amount of plastic polluting the sea. This paper aims to discuss this issue from the context of international environmental framework.
