It’s sickening to see this image, demand for #whale meat in #Japan is low and consuming it is dangerous due to the high levels of toxins these animals accumulate. Such a waste.

Working on an ocean blue hole exploration and survey, we found a lot of plastic but the rain poncho from a cruise line shows us how far pollution travels. We need to understand how every piece we use & discard has a life beyond our lives.
