One Small Fish Eats A Piece Of Blue Plastic

           I was swimming in a still relatively intact coral reef area. The corals near the shore are almost all broken from people stepping on them. But farther out, where the water is deeper, the corals are still intact. A few green turtles could be seen.
           Here and there were plastic bags that I was able to grab to take out of the ocean. As I swam towards the shore, a piece of blue plastic was floating in the water. I reached for it it, at which time it broke into many small pieces. As one small piece of blue plastic was suspended in the water, a small fish came by and swallowed it, thinking it was food.
            Plastic and non biodegradable garbage breaks down into small pieces, making it virtually impossible to remove. Fish and other marine life are eating this plastic. I wish I had a camera with me to photograph this incident.
             It comes down to this- ignore the plastic poisoning of the ocean, and there will no be a future.
