Current state of the marine environment
Marine plastic litter is a big problem all over the world.
It is estimated that about 8 million tons are generated annually worldwide, and 20,000 to 60,000 tons are generated in Japan.
In addition, fishing nets and ropes account for 2.60% of the marine litter (artificial objects) washed ashore in Japan on a volume basis.

These plastic wastes that flow into the sea not only pollute the sea, but also have a major impact on the marine ecosystem.
If this situation continues, the sustainable relationship between the marine environment and humans will collapse.
