Microplastic Pollution Threatens Kanniyakumari Coast After Shipwreck

Imagine a ship carrying a lot of stuff sank near the coast of Kanniyakumari, India.

Now, tiny plastic pieces called nurdles are washing up on the beaches.

These are dangerous because fish and other sea creatures eat them, which can make them sick and pass the pollution up the food chain to humans.

People are worried because they eat a lot of fish.

Experts are studying the problem, and workers are trying to clean up the plastic.

Some people are handling the plastic without knowing it's unsafe.

The government needs to take action to stop the damage and hold the shipping company responsible.
