“Sea Of Plastic” Floating Near Caribbean Island
Photographer Caroline Power features a home on the island of Roatan within the Carribean and was out stumped when she found this “Great Caribbean Garbage Patch”. The island is usually described as a paradise island, but only 15 miles off the coast, things are but idyllic.
As we are all cognizant by now, humans use excessive amounts of plastic on a day-to-day basis. We seem to possess a drag removing these plastics during a responsible manner to avoid polluting our surroundings, and tons of plastic tends to finish up in our oceans where it causes all kinds of problems for the marine life.

Power, who has spent most of her career dedicated to raising awareness of the plastic problem, was interviewed by The Telegram, and explained a touch about the shocking discovery:
“We were on a dive trip to a group of islands that don’t quite break the ocean surface. they're one among the foremost pristine dive sites during this a part of the Caribbean. Everywhere we looked, plastic bags of all shapes and sizes: chip bags, zip locks, grocery, trash, snack bags, another packaging. Some were whole, and therefore the rest were just pieces.”
When they hit the rubbish patch, Power and her team floated through it for nearly five miles. Among the waste, there were also weird items like television, burst soccer balls, toothbrushes, and lots of pairs of flip-flops.
