How We Can Help

There has been many bg islands of garbage in the oceans that are filled with plastic bags and ziploc snack bags scattered by currents that sweep them to the same place. These bags and other plastics that were swept out into open seas are eaten by turtles because they think they are jellyfish and whales while they are eating, other nets strangle fish,gulls,crabs and other animals. We can help

this by using reusable bags and if you see a plastic flying toward the ocean or if you see one in the water, pick it up and put it in a garbage bin.
