80% of Marine Pollution Comes from the Land
- "An estimated 80 per cent of marine pollution originates from the land and this could rise significantly by 2050 if, as expected, coastal populations double in just over 40 years time and action to combat pollution is not accelerated. - quote by Achim Steiner, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Executive Director. Also see this UNEP article.
