Worth emphasizing that the vast majority of the #PlasticPollution in the sea is created and caused by the intensive fishing sector!

Just saw some guys untangle a Pelican this weekend. Loads of fishing line trapping his wing. So sad. So shameful.

During duck shooting season, the main litter left behind is plastic shotgun shells - by the tens of thousands. These break apart, not breakdown, and make their way into water systems everywhere killing more birds than the original gunshot.
