not just reefs being destroyed by man or global warning, the slurs of plastic out there are now found at the microscopic level meaning the smallest of creatures like plankton, shrimps, pods, etc are ingesting it and dying thus reducing the life at the lowest end of the food chain. The tiniest strands of plastic, visible only under the microscope might come from textiles or further eroded levels of larger pieces of plastic. So of this eventually gets ingested by humans and the larger fish we eat.
