maui dolphins are almost endangered because when people go fishing they get caught on the fishing nets making them not be able to move in the water.

Environmental Issue

Today we are having a trouble about keeping plastic safe and some of our marine animals in the future might get endangered because of this problem. All of the rubbish we throw on the ground finds it's way to go to the ocean or lakes. The marine animals eats the plastic and they will die around next day and turtles gets stuck in the cup holders and there shells grows around it. Birds also has those problems because of the birds eating the plastic.
