Asian Diver - Issue 01 - 2019

في هذه القضية

Our 2019 issue of The Big Blue Book focuses on the perils of plastic pollution on the very source of life – the ocean. We look into the creation of plastic, its long life span and durability and opinions from prominent scientists on how plastics affect marine species – for example how microplastics affect coral reefs. We also look into the solutions that can prevent further plastic pollution of our oceans so that marine species can be protected.
