Abstract

Morske želve so ene izmed najstarejših živali na svetu. Poznamo sedem vrst in vseh sedem je ogroženih. Na zmanjšanje populacije morskih želv najpogosteje vplivajo predvsem podnebne spremembe, obalni razvoj, ribolov in najbolj odpadna plastika, ki zaradi človeških dejavnosti vstopa v oceane ter povzroča poškodbe, bolezni in celo njihovo smrt. Ljudje se pogosto ne zavedajo posledic lastnih dejanj, ki se kažejo predvsem z odlaganjem odpadkov v bližini morja ali celo v njegovo notranjost. Po trenutnih ocenah naj bi v oceanih po vsem svetu plavalo približno 100 milijonov ton plastike, ki je posebej nevarna za mlade želve, zaradi česar obstaja večja možnost, da jo bodo zamenjale za hrano ali se vanjo zapletle. Želve imajo med drugim pomembno vlogo v morskem ekosistemu, saj pozitivno vplivajo na njegovo vzdrževanje. V diplomskem delu je tako predstavljen problem onesnaževanja morja s plastiko, saj se velikokrat premalo zavedamo, kako je lahko le-ta nevarna in ogrožajoča za celoten ekosistem. Z delom se želi doseči predvsem ozaveščenost ljudi glede te problematike, zato je bil cilj diplomskega dela ugotoviti, zakaj plastika škoduje želvam, in preučiti, kako onesnaževanje morja vpliva na zmanjšanje populacije želv ter kako bi s trajnostnim razvojem rešili to problematiko. Pomembno je predvsem, da bi bili ljudje ozaveščeni in poučeni glede ravnanja s plastiko, njenim pravilnim odlaganjem in recikliranjem. Pomembno vlogo pri tem ima tudi mednarodno sodelovanje med državami.

Secondary title:	Marine pollution: the impact of plastic on sea turtles
Secondary abstract:	Sea turtles are one of the oldest animals in the world. We recognize seven species and all seven are endangered. The decline of the sea turtle populations is most often affected by climate change, coastal development, fishing and plastic waste, which enters the oceans due to human activities and causes injuries, diseases and even death. People are often unaware of the consequences of their actions, which are mainly reflected in waste dumping near the sea or even inland. According to current estimates, there is about 100 million tons of plastic floating in the oceans around the world, which is especially dangerous for young turtles, because there is a greater chance that they will exchange it for food or become entangled in it. Among other things, turtles play an important role in the marine ecosystem, as they have a positive impact on its maintenance. The diploma thesis presents the problem of marine pollution with plastic, as we are often insufficiently aware of how dangerous and threatening it can be for the entire ecosystem. Above all, I want to make people aware of this issue, so the aim of the thesis was to find out why plastic harms turtles and examine how marine pollution affects the reduction of turtle populations, and how to solve this problem through sustainable development. Above all, it is important that people are mindful and educated about the handling of plastic, its proper disposal and recycling. International cooperation between countries also plays an important role in this.
