The Artificial Habitat – Algalita Marine Research & Education

Submitted by RIJS on
Item Description
The last couple of days have been utterly surreal. The discovery of an island of plastic took us all by surprise, but as we continued to map and explore this new anomaly we realize it is probably not the only one of it’s kind. The power of the tsunami that violently tore items from shore and swept them out to sea is evidenced in the twisted mass of ropes, nets and lines that are now inseparably intertwined.
