Is marine debris a cause of oceanic pollution or is it summing up all the causes in one?

Author: One more question the Im done :p So I’m writing a persuasive speech about our polluted oceans and I’m stuck on the causes. Is marine debris more like a summary of all the causes or is it just on of the factors? Because the 3 causes I’m talking abut will be: marine debris, toxic waste and oil pollution. Any marine bio majors want ta help me out?

Marine debris is solid waste – chiefly discarded plastics, also lost fishing nets, rubber duckies, tennis shoes, fishing floats.
Toxic wastes are usually liquid or sludge, washed off the land or deliberately dumped through sewage systems. Oil is toxic, too, but usually carried as a separate category.
