The acidification of oceans is one of the most pressing concerns that trouble scientists, along with increased levels of pollutants being spilled in the waters everyday.

Plastic, the worst kind of thrash, doesn't affect only people, as the latest research indicated, but it also has an impact on oceans and on their ecosystems, to a greater extent than one would imagine.

It is the "father of all rivers". With 6,800 km (4,250 mi) in length, it overpasses the Nile (6,695 km or 4,184 mi).
