I wish that were true, but sadly it's not. Woody hit the nail on the head. Much of this stuff mixes with stormwater and finds its way into storm drains, then into rivers, and eventually into the Oceans. Did you see all the cigarrette lighters, bottle caps, etc.? That is litter from land-based human activities, and a good amount of it is coming from the US of A. We need to change people's attitudes and behaviors if we want to make any dent in the severe marine debris problem.

on a smaller note, it would be nice just see the jacka**es that fish the canal pick up their dd cups, cig. butts, beer cans, bait bags, and 1000000000000000 yards of line that snaps off their reels!:confused::confused:

:agree:

You left out the packaging for soft-body swimmers.

Very Interesting link. I was not aware of this. I am one who alway spicks up trash at beaches, ponds. lake sand jetties when fishing.

Unfortuantely, there is always more trash the next time. I don't get what people think when they discard trash like that.
