The long life of plastic invades the beaches of all coasts, almost without exception. Where there are humans, there is sure to be plastic. Whether it’s big or small plastic, colored plastic, a fragment that was part of a lid, a container, a straw, a cup, a plastic fishing net, a nylon cord, a glove... They were all manufactured in far away factories, but year after year, more and more plastic arrives to the shores of our oceans to be polished away by the sea.
