'I am an individual doing all i can to help remove Plastic Pollution from Beaches and help create awareness ... this Video was Shot at Whitsunday Island Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area - Great Barrier Reef Marine Park ,Queensland Australia ,check out more of what i am doing at Facebook \"Whitsunday Plastic Pollution\".\"All over the globe, there are signs that plastic pollution is doing more than blighting the scenery; it is also making its way into the food chain. Some of the most obvious victims are the dead seabirds that have been washing ashore in startling numbers, their bodies packed with plastic: things like bottle caps, cigarette lighters, tampon applicators, and colored scraps that, to a foraging bird, resemble baitfish. (One animal dissected by Dutch researchers contained 1,603 pieces of plastic.) And the birds aren\'t alone. All sea creatures are threatened by floating plastic, from whales down to zooplankton. There\'s a basic moral horror in seeing the picture:of a Bird hanging by fishing line on a marker ; More than a million seabirds, 100,000 marine mammals, and countless fish die in the North Pacific each year, either from mistakenly eating this junk or from being ensnared in it and drowning.'
