Natural unmodified fibers can be yellow, grey, black, white, clear, green, brown. I spend Friday mornings reading recent studies on microfibers, etc. & a few have considered these colors 'unnatural' & evidence of anthro modification (sometimes classified as synthetic outright).

Cldn't agree more. We do the best we can to promote no waste over the side with orgs like KIMO for skips in ports. Fishermen will also remove litter where they can, it would be difficult to believe what & how much they remove from the sea annually, we all have to get better!
