I knew about the dangers of plastic in nature but this is extreme.
Being a bird lover, I always pick up discarded fishing line or bailer twine in hay fields because it can get caught around birds legs. Six pack
plastic rings are another danger for birds.
This ocean garbage really seems like a runaway train. I wish we could do something fast but it seems hopeless when you look at how many sources there
are to this problem.
We really do need a recipe for naturally degrading organic plastics, and this is one of the clear reasons why.
Thanks for this disturbing realization.
