THE TROUBLE WITH TRASH HOW OUR WASTE IS DAMAGING OUR OCEAN RESOURCES

摘要

A sunny autumn day on the island of Jersey and the beaches are thriving with people. Today isn't just about enjoying the coast. Run by Littlefeet Environmental - a non-profit organisation that specialises in marine turtle conservation, ecology, and community development, 11 beaches and one underwater site across the island are being cleaned by teams of volunteers. "Every year tens of thousands of seabirds, marine mammals, and sea turtles are impacted by marine litter," Littlefeet director Andy Farmer explains. "We are trying to do our bit to take whatever we can out of the waterto reduce this impact...Jersey does not see many sea turtles, but because of tidal action, currents, winds etc., our litter can impact on marine animals across the ocean."
