Hadal pollution
Description
This images portrays the effects of pollution in the hadal zone. 4 billion microfibers per km² of plastic sink below the surface of the ocean and contaminate not just the hadal zone but the entire ocean ecosystem. The presence of waste in the hadal zone can harm hadal organisms which can prevent the recycling of nutrients back into the environment. In other words, human pollution can harm hadal organisms and thus the entire aquatic ecosystem.
