00:00An underwater photographer in Batangas was able to capture an octopus attached to a candy wrapper.

00:07There is also an octopus attached to a toothbrush.

00:09These are signs of a growing problem in the garbage in the ocean.

00:15Vona Kino has a report.

00:22An octopus in Hanau Bay in Anilaw, Batangas.

00:25An underwater photographer, Wayne Jones, was able to capture an octopus when he went diving on January 25.

00:31Wayne noticed something different about the nautilus, which is often attached to candy wrappers.

00:37It was a paper nautilus on a plastic wrapper.

00:42I don't think it's harmful to the actual paper nautilus,

00:47but it just represents the situation of the amount of plastics that are in the ocean.

00:55Aside from the plastic wrapper, the nautilus also attached to the toothbrush.

00:58In a separate dive, Wayne also saw plastic attached to a seahorse.

01:04According to the Ocean Conservancy, 8 million metric tons of plastic is thrown into the ocean every year.

01:11According to UNESCO, 80% of marine pollution is plastic, which often does not dissolve or last long before disappearing.

01:19The estimated 75 to 199 million tons of plastic can currently be found in the oceans according to the United Nations Environment Program.

01:29What matters is that 36% of the plastics in the world's oceans come from the Philippines.

01:37All I can do is take images and share them.

01:41It's not just a local issue, it's a national, global issue.

01:49And so that's why everyone needs to get on board and pressure their governments to do something about what is happening.

01:59The DENR has estuaries and river rangers who clean the garbage in the waterways.

02:05The agency named them and introduced them earlier.

02:09Your work is more than defending and removing garbage.

02:14This is a powerful declaration of hope and tolerance.

02:22The DENR also urged communities to move because protecting the environment is not just a job for some.

02:29Protecting the environment is not just a job, but a responsibility that is part of our civilization and culture.

02:37Vaughn Aquino reporting for GMA Integrated News.
