Plastic Sea (Pomacentrus coelestis) Diver&#039;s Lodge House Reef, Lembeh.<br />
This is a picture showing the reality of the Indonesian underwater world: plastic detritus. It is a real problem in Lembeh. Sea creatures make their house in this plastic residues making it harder to remove them without killing them. Bigger species eat them and die from it. A sad sight. I hope one day disposable plastics will be banned from our planet, before we kill the entire sea with this garbage :-( Neon damselfish,Pomacentrus coelestis Click/tap to enlarge Country intro

  1. A depressing sight! I do have the impression that plastic pollution is gaining mainstream attention these days, hopefully a first encouraging sign. Posted 5 years ago
    1. Yes, me too. I hope the pressure to solve this problem continues and extends worldwide. Posted 5 years ago
