Do you have any idea how many sea creatures there are, all of whom are shitting straight into the ocean, constantly?
Around 2 billion metric tons of them.
By contrast, there are only about 60 million tons of human beings.
Handwaving any differences in metabolic rates, the ocean animals are outshitting us by a factor of roughly 30, or, to put it another way, if every human turd in the world went straight into the ocean it would only increase the amount of shit in the ocean by around 3%.
Of course, the overwhelming majority of human waste does not get dumped directly into the oceans, so it's far less than that.
