[www.keralites.net] A sea of plastic: Shocking images show how bottles, bags and rubbish are choking our oceans - see to beleive it

 


Please stop using Plastic. A sea of plastic: Shocking images show how bottles, bags and rubbish are choking our oceans

  • One image taken near Roatan, an island off Honduras, shows diver grimace as he prepares to enter the water
  • Rubbish was probably washed into sea from nearby Guatemala, carried on rivers swollen by rainy season flowing through towns and villages
  • One ocean protection campaigner said it was the worst example of plastic pollution he has seen 

    • Filthy: A diver grimaces as he prepares to jump into the sea covered with plastic rubbish near Roatan, an island off the coast of Honduras

    Waste: Disposable cutlery and other rubbish trapped in seaweed. It is thought it was washed into the sea from nearby Guatemala, carried on rivers swollen by the recent rainy season

    Dark waters: Another picture, taken from below the waterline, shows plastic bottles, bags and other rubbish on the surface blocking out sunlight

    He pointed out that plastic gets broken down into microscopic particles that enter the food chain when plankton and fish eat them.


    He added: 'It is thought that 90 per cent of sea birds have ingested some sort of plastic, and there are many examples of turtles and whales mistaking plastic for food. 


    'We all have a part to play in reducing plastic waste but manufacturers and government need to take the lead. It's a global problem which needs a global solution.'
