On World Oceans Day, reports reveal high levels of microplastics in Puri's seawater. According to 2024 data, Puri has 6.4 microplastic particles per liter, higher than Digha. Swargadwar has been identified as a 'Red Zone' for microplastic concentration. This pollution is severely affecting marine life like turtles and fish, with about 720 tons of plastic waste generated annually in Puri, much of which ends up in the ocean despite government regulations.
