Our world’s coastlines and oceans are becoming more and more severely saturated with polluted plastics every day. These plastic pollutants present themselves with much diversity and can range from microscopic debris to large and obstructive macroplastics. In regards to the amount and concentration of plastics in a given region, this data can be rather difficult to accurately quantify due to the sheer scope and mobility of the debris. Plastic is still a relatively new technology, with mass production

Currently, the Chesapeake Bay has a rating of 32 out of 100. The depletion in quality derives from the increase of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediments being deposited
