Are the world's oceans polluted? This is a question many experts have asked. There are signs of pollution in our oceans, such as a large floating body of plastic and garbage in the Pacific Ocean. There have also been oil spills around the world that have caused harm. However, I don't feel like these issues have hurt the oceans to the point of worry. Animals and fish are still surviving, and when I go to the beach I don't find myself swimming in plastic. What is the author's point of view?

• The world's oceans are only half-way polluted.

• The oceans are just fine. Pollution is not a big problem yet.

• The ocean's creatures are dying because of pollution.

• The oceans need to be saved immediately.
