Do you know what you eat from the sea? Do you know what you meet while swimming? Do you know what you step on while walking on the sand? The sea brings ashore all types of garbage highlighting the importance of having clean seas, bays and sandy beaches to safeguard our own lives and that of various creatures, animals and microorganisms. The presence of plastics, wood, iron bars, cigarette buts, paper, and hundreds of other materials pose health risks both to humans and other living creatures. Thus, the concept of having a clean marine environment is highly important.

This metal animal statue is left outside, exposed to all elements. Thus ending up getting rusted. Not being protected, it is being left losing its function. Rusting is the result of the reaction of iron and oxygen which is the iron oxide, which is the reddish-brown that is shown on the outer part of the object. The presence of water or air moisture catalyses the reaction taking place. Rusting can lead to pollution because when the metals corrode, they release harmful substances into the environment, such as the soil, water and air. This can be harmful to plants, animals and humans.
