In the age of the Anthropocene, the ocean has typically been viewed as a sink for pollution. Pollution is varied, ranging from human-made plastics and pharmaceutical compounds, to human-altered abiotic factors, such as sediment and nutrient runoff. As global population, wealth and resource consumption continue to grow, so too does the amount of potential pollution produced. This presents us with a grand challenge which requires interdisciplinary knowledge to solve. There is sufficient data on the human health, social, economic, and environmental risks of marine pollution, resulting in increased awareness and motivation to address this global challenge, however a significant lag exists when implementing strategies to address this issue. This review draws upon the expertise of 17 experts from the fields of social sciences, marine science, visual arts, and Traditional and First Nations Knowledge Holders to present two futures; the Business-As-Usual, based on current trends and observations of growing marine pollution, and a More Sustainable Future, which imagines what our ocean could look like if we implemented current knowledge and technologies. We identify priority actions that governments, industry and consumers can implement at pollution sources, vectors and sinks, over the next decade to reduce marine pollution and steer us towards the More Sustainable Future.

更清洁的海洋：减少海洋污染
在人类世时代，海洋通常被视为污染的汇点。污染是多种多样的，从人造塑料和药物化合物，到人为改变的非生物因素，如沉积物和养分径流。随着全球人口、财富和资源消耗的持续增长，产生的潜在污染量也在增加。这给我们带来了一个巨大的挑战，需要跨学科的知识来解决。关于海洋污染对人类健康、社会、经济和环境风险的充分数据，提高了应对这一全球挑战的意识和动力，但在实施解决这一问题的战略时存在显着滞后。这篇综述汇集了来自社会科学、海洋科学、视觉艺术，以及传统和原住民知识持有者展示两个未来；一切照旧，基于当前趋势和对日益严重的海洋污染的观察，以及更可持续的未来，想象如果我们实施当前的知识和技术，我们的海洋会是什么样子。我们确定了未来十年政府、行业和消费者可以在污染源、媒介和汇中实施的优先行动，以减少海洋污染并引导我们走向更可持续的未来。
