A single red plastic cup washed ashore on the beach at Warren Dunes State Park in Berrien County, Michigan.

Coleotteri imbottigliati - bottled beetles - 06.01.2014 Principina (GR) Italy
quando abbandoni una bottiglia di alcoolici sulla spiaggia accade questo: stermini una quantità incredibile di coleotteri
°°°° when you leave a bottle of alcohol on the beach this happens: you exterminate an incredible amount of beetles
Gave it my best to trap this female today to remove this plastic twine around her leg. Had to quit after making multiple attempts. Maybe another day if she allows me.
On almost every beach we find discarded or lost nets of all iszes. Often so big that it would take an excavator to get them out.
Day 139/366 of Project 365 (Monday, 2020 May 18 - 8th photo): The sense of peace and beauty that a pair of Mute Swans and their brood would normally evoke is ruined by the sight of a non-biodegradable plastic soft drink container disposed of by an ignorant person. Why are people so thoughtless? Living on a lake shared by others, I see this kind of degradation all the time. And sadly, it seems most prevalent among fishermen (and yes, they are almost all males). They go out on the lake with a plastic container of bait, and when they leave the bait container gets tossed in the lake. Same with whatever beverage containers they might have taken with them. I can't tell you how much trash I've plucked out of the lake over the years. From what I've seen, Izaak Walton would be sadly disappointed by the lack of environmental consciousness displayed by the modern-day community of anglers.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium is devoted to helping preserve our oceans. On the
second floor of the aquarium, there is an exhibit whose sole purpose is to
show people the amount of debris that pollutes our oceans. This picture
depicts probably the most famous ukiyo-e painting of all time, The Great
Wave of Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai. While it may simply look like a
painting from this distance, it is actually made up of thousands of plastic
particles that were once floating in the Pacific Ocean. I really liked
looking at this exhibit and it made me think about how art can make a
statement about society and its surroundings.
