12-15 million tons of plastic ends up in the ocean every year, killing one million seabirds and 100,000 marine animals.

Illegal fishing accounts for an estimated 11-26 million tons of the annual catch of fish globally.

For every pound of trawled shrimp, up to six pounds of "bycatch” is also captured, including turtles and dolphins.

If not for whaling, ship strikes, pollution and entanglement in fishing gear, some whales could live for over 200 years.
