Spearfisher Documents the Effects of Plastics on Marine Life

While out spearfishing, Kate Rogers came across a baby seahorse that was clinging on to some stray plastic floating in the current. She documented the sight as she tried to transfer it onto some seaweed.

“The world is in our hands, and only we have the power to change it. The impact plastic has had on our environment is devastating. There is plastic on every single beach in the world and everything is affected. The seabirds, turtles, whales, sharks, and even this little seahorse thinks this piece of plastic is a normal raft for him to travel on. I want to highlight the problem,” she added in the description of the video on YouTube. Credit: SPEARING SOUTH via Storyful
