Most people expect someone will take care of this matter, and don’t raise the alarm until after the damage is done. Thanks for continuing the conversation and rattling the chains. The ocean has been a dumping ground for centuries; change only comes when the damage is revealed, and needs remediation. For this kind of damage, is remediation even possible? If you can’t see it, too many people won’t even believe it’s a problem.
Thanks, Pam, I appreciate your comment! I definitely agree that apathy has been a problem over the years, but I am hopeful that this proposed despoliation of our commons is so flagrant, so extreme, and so utterly lacking in respect for our communities that people will come together to oppose it.
So far, I'm seeing people who couldn't agree the sky is blue most days agreeing on this.
