So this is one of the sad things about doing deep-sea exploration.

00:00:05.740 --> 00:00:11.020
I think a lot of us deep-sea scientists can say that we’ve dived in the deep sea all around the world,

00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:15.380
in some extremely remote places and, unfortunately,

00:00:15.580 --> 00:00:23.499
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.

00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:25.699


00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:27.520
I think it’s a sponge.

00:00:29.139 --> 00:00:30.040
No.It’s trash.

00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:34.420
Well, at least we saw some rocks before we saw trash.

00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:37.220
A plastic bag, people.

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:40.020
That is just wrong.

00:00:41.480 --> 00:00:45.500
That’s why you don’t use plastic bags.You use cloth bags, reusable bags.

00:00:51.979 --> 00:00:57.940
It’s just important when you’re en route or etcetera, make sure your trash gets disposed of properly.

00:00:58.420 --> 00:01:02.180
Same thing on land. Recycle. Don’t use plastic, disposable plastic.

00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:06.080
That is a wonderful message for Earth Day, which is still happening on the mainland.
