Introduction It is no secret that many environmental issues have a negative impact on the human race. Furthermore, it is no secret that humans are the root cause of these problems. Time and again, society has shown blatant disregard for nature, instead pursuing monetary capital and status by exploiting the earth's natural resources. These priorities are causing consequences of epic proportions, which those in charge ignore in favor of capital gain. One of the most pressing problems is marine pollution and its threat to human food security. Marine pollution occurs when harmful, or potentially harmful, effects result from the entry of chemicals, particles, industrial, agricultural and residential waste, noise, or the spread of invasive organisms into the ocean. Basically, it occurs when something that can cause harm to the ocean and its inhabitants enters the water. Many social factors contribute to marine pollution, including: climate change, non-point source pollution, solid waste, industry and manufacturing. But how can marine pollution pose a threat to human food security? Because the oceans are such an important part of our world, they are naturally an important part of our economy. There are an immeasurable number of coastal businesses and communities that rely on the animals the ocean supports. Coastal communities depend on what they can harvest from the ocean. Marine pollution poses a starvation threat to these communities. Companies harvest and sell many types of fish, shellfish, and even seaweed, to help feed the world's growing population. Marine pollution threatens this essential resource for human food security. There are many anthropogenic threats to the oceans, resulting in a variety of consequences… half of the paper… neurodevelopment, fatigue, insomnia, nerve damage, increased blood pressure, and reproductive problems. Seafood that has been affected by solid waste or chemical discharges is particularly threatening to coastal populations because not only do they have no choice but to consume the seafood due to economic position, but they also lack the means to medically treat anyone affected by contaminated seafood. Conclusion In conclusion, marine pollution poses a huge threat not only to marine organisms, but also to the human race. Pollution can cause dead zones, a decline in fishing, slowed reproduction and growth, and altered reproductive patterns, as well as a threat to coastal populations. Since the human race relies on the ocean for much of its livelihood, it is imperative to mitigate any pollution that may threaten marine species..
