Whales are filter feeders, which means they eat by filtering small organisms out of the water. This makes them particularly vulnerable to water pollution, as they can easily ingest plastic waste and other harmful substances.

Plastic waste can block whales' digestive tracts, causing them to starve to death. It can also entangle whales, making it difficult for them to swim or breathe. In some cases, plastic waste can even cause whales to drown.

The problem of water pollution is not just a problem for whales. It's a problem for all marine life. Plastic waste can harm fish, sea turtles, and other animals. It can also damage coral reefs and other important marine habitats.
