Glass Beach
During the early 20th century residents of Fort Bragg, California chose to dispose of their waste by hurling it off the cliffs above a beach. No object was too toxic or too large as household appliances, automobiles, and all matter of trash were tossed into the crashing waves below, eventually earning it the name The Dumps. In 1967 the North Coast Water Quality Board closed the area completely and initiated a series of cleanups to slowly reverse decades of pollution and environmental damage. But there was one thing too costly (or perhaps impossible) to tackle: the millions of tiny glass shards churning in the surf. Over time the unrelenting ocean waves have, in a sense, cleansed the beach, turning the sand into a sparkling, multicolored bed of smooth glass stones now known as Glass Beach. The beach is now an unofficial tourist attraction and the California State Park System has gone so far as purchasing the property and incorporating it into surrounding MacKerricher State Park.

The Great Blue Hole is located in Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, about 60 miles away from Belize City. It is believed that this hole is the world’s largest sea-hole. It is about 125 meters deep and its diameter is about 300 meters wide.

Wow, look at the jellyfish! Ay, joke. Plastic pala yan.
(Photo taken from savephilippineseas.com)See? Plastic bags floating in the water really do look like a bunch of jellyfishes. Now, because I’m human, upon better inspection of these floaters I am able to think:
“Wait a minute! Those are not jellyfishes, they are plastic bags! I better not eat them.”
Unfortunately, turtles don’t know what plastic bags are or do they have the power to distinguish the difference between the two. Therefor, can’t differentiate a plastic bag from a jellyfish in the water for themselves. Often these poor guys mistakenly eat a plastic bag thinking it’s a jellyfish and they eventually die because of this. Did you know the Philippines is home to 7 out of the 8 different species of sea turtles? You probably already know that these turtles are highly endangered and should be protected, but did you know that people are still hunting them down? That’s majorly fucked up if you ask me. Why am I telling you this?
Okay fine, maybe you don’t buy turtle meat or stuffed turtles from these illegal poachers (if you actually do please stop, stuffed sea turtles are illegal plus they are really tacky). The poaching thing is a little beyond our reach, so I’ll let that one slide for now. Let’s start with something a little closer to home. The litter problem, THAT we can do something about. I want you guys to think of the last time you went out to buy something. Did the things you bought really need to be put into individual plastic bags? Did you even really need to use plastic bag? Couldn’t it have fit in your pocket or your handbag? Also, I want you to think about what happens to that plastic bag when you get home. Do you reuse it or do you immediately just throw it away? I’m not blaming you guys for the plastic bags I see on my dives or for the ones that kill turtles. I just want you to be aware of what plastic can do. Even if plastic doesn’t end up in the ocean it ends up clogging a canal or in a dumpsite where it will stay and be an eyesore for hundreds of years. You will die way before that plastic bag even starts decomposing.
I don’t want to guilt you into never using plastic ever again, I just want you to know and understand what our actions can do to the rest of our surroundings.
UPDATE!
Look what they found inside this dead (and endagered) sea turtle’s tummy: PLASTIC

Let’s be more mindful of our actions.

The concept behind this project was to create an underwater environment existing parallel to the everyday street-life. The pictures present a combination of visual elegance, danger and people living on the edge. One image in particular - Shark Riding, 1993 - gained worldwide recognition. It shows an underwater city slicker riding a 17-foot long shark; no computer manipulation has been used to create this picture. ‘The Under Water Project’ was realized for Levi’s.
