Shocking photo shows Caribbean Sea being ‘choked to death by human waste’
Caroline Power, who specialises in underwater photography, has dedicated her career to highlighting the damage plastic waste is doing to our oceans.
She said witnessing the plastic blanket of forks, bottles and rubbish between the islands Roatan and Cayos Cochinos, off the coast of Honduras, was “devastating”.
“To see something that I care so deeply for being killed, slowly choked to death by human waste was devastating,” she told The Telegraph.
“Once the trash is in the ocean, it is incredibly difficult and costly to remove. The key is to stop the trash before it enters the ocean.

NDP unveils details of plan to make cellphone and internet bills cheaper – iPolitics
The party also plans to increase market competitiveness by making
every telecom company offer basic broadband and wireless plans,
comparable to those in the OECD.
The NDP also pledges to eliminate data caps and create unlimited data
plans for wireless customers, as is commonly the case outside of
Canada. As well, the party plans to introduce a “Telecom Consumers’ Bill
of Rights,” which they say will protect Canadians against telecom
companies’ notoriously predatory sales practices, as the CRTC reported earlier this year.

Researchers Have Identified How Naval Sonar Is Killing And Beaching Whales – Sea Voice News
In new research published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, they discovered that the sound emitted by sonar is so intense that marine mammals will swim hundreds of miles, dive deep into the abyss or even beach themselves to flee from the sounds that are literally unbearable to them.
In particular, beaked whales are one of the marine mammals that are often found beached due to sonar testing. Prior to the 1960s, beaked whale strandings were extremely rare. But once the 60s rolled around, the Navy started to use mid-frequency active sonar (MFAS) to detect submarines.
And from the 60s onwards, whales washing up on beachings became a very common occurrence. The paper recently published is a summary of what was discussed at a 2017 meeting of beaked whale experts in the Canary Islands and revealed that sonar distresses beaked whales so much that the marine mammals ends up with nitrogen bubbles in their blood very similar to what divers would call decompression sickness or the bends. The nitrogen can cause hemorrhaging and damage to whales vital organs.
