One such dumper is South Korea, which uses the Philippine Islands as a dumping ground for much of it's trash, including hazardous or biochemical waste. Just last year, South Korea transferred over 11588 tons of trash to the Philippines, which, coincidentally, reported ratios as high as 4 pounds of trash to every 1 pound of plankton. Plankton is a small creature essential for sea ecology, and usually, being around so much waste for plankton is unsustainable--meaning that said plankton in contaminated waters usually die shortly thereafter. That's a lot of deaths, considering there are over 4,540,000 plankton in a pound. Given this information, if even 1% of the waste from South Korea leaked into the ocean around the Philippines, what would be the overall decline or loss in the plankton population of the Philippines, in pounds? 5
