Ocean Rubbish Dump Bigger than Australia Expands



A massive plastic mass of rubbish is slowly accumulating in the Pacific Ocean. The floating dump, bigger than Australia is controlled by trade winds in the area between San Francisco and Hawaii.

Great diet for marine life in that area and almost impossible to fix according to experts.



Believe it or not, this is crochet. There is a large project to make woollen coral reefs. Pretty sad that we have to replace the natural marine environment with coloured sheep fleece because of our love affair with plastic. Having done quite a bit of scuba diving, it is sad that we are losing some of these very valuable and very beautiful ecosystems.
