So this is one of the sad things about doing deep-sea exploration.
I think a lot of us deep-sea scientists can say that we’ve dived in the deep sea all around the world,
in some extremely remote places and, unfortunately,
I think there’s not one cruise that I’ve been on, out of the 11, where I haven’t seen several pieces of trash.
I think it’s a sponge.
No.It’s trash.
Well, at least we saw some rocks before we saw trash.
A plastic bag, people.
That is just wrong.
That’s why you don’t use plastic bags.You use cloth bags, reusable bags.
It’s just important when you’re en route or etcetera, make sure your trash gets disposed of properly.
Same thing on land. Recycle. Don’t use plastic, disposable plastic.
That is a wonderful message for Earth Day, which is still happening on the mainland.
