We’ve literally been dumping nuclear and chemical waste in the oceans for 100 years now?

It isn’t good, but it isn’t any different than usual either.

The amount of plastic going into the ocean is increasing rapidly, especially in the last 15 years or so. It is different from (say) 50 years ago.

Also you might have noticed that a lot of sea life is scarcer than it used to be.
