We all know it by now.

We all have heard about the plastic soup, but for some it is quite an abstract phenomenon.

For us it is very confronting to be faced with the (mostly plastic) mess that we humans have entered the ocean each time we go out to sea.

Everyday we pick up plastic while we are out there.

It is not only on the surface that we encounter it, like this tern using a discarded flipflop as a resting platform.

Traditionally on World Wildlife Day I would post a fancy pic of some charismatic marine wildlife to celebrate this day..

Recently however I feel a bit different about these days, since we (read: me) might miss a chance to point out some of the ocean issues I observe. 

In other words, I'd like to not just show the beauty anymore, but also the beast..
