Caribbean is trash | 'Buried alive'

A photographer recently photographed in the Caribbean a stunning set of photos on the surface of this clear ocean covered with a variety of plastic garbage dense endless, the ship opened eight kilometers before the 'rubbish Island 'left behind in the ocean more plastic than fish, this statement is not alarmist.

The photographer Caroline Bauer said that the trash of plastic, such as forks and jugs, has been seen collapsing between Roatan and the Cocos Islands near the Honduran coast.

She told The Telegraph: "I saw the sea I loved so devastated and slowly suffocated under the rubbish of human trash and really collapsed."

Once the rubbish is in the oceans, it becomes more difficult and costly to remove them, and the crux of the problem is stopping the rubbish from entering the sea.

The largest spot of debris found by the diving team is in the direction of the Marine Reserve at the Cocos Islands, 15 miles from Roatan Beach.

Ms. Bauer recalled: 'At the time we were about to dive to several islands linked to the sea, the most primitive dive area in the Caribbean.

The diver 's underwater photograph was actually shot on one of the seamounts, and it was frustrating to see the surface of the sea, which was supposed to be so pure, covered with garbage.

She said their boat was about five miles (eight kilometers) past the floating garbage, adding: 'Everything is in all shapes and sizes: potato Pouch bags, ziplock bags, food bags, trash bags, snack bags, and many other bags. Some plastic bags are complete, the rest are only pieces. Sadly, many turtles, fish, whales and seabirds Think of these plastic pieces as food.

Then we got to a place about two miles wide where there was no shortage of rubbish in rows.

There are seemingly endless plastic forks, spoons, drink bottles and plates, broken football, toothbrushes, a television set and lots of shoes and slippers.

The Blue Planet, a consortium dedicated to ending overfishing and over-exploitation of the oceans, believes the trash comes from the Motta River in Guatemala and is stormed into the ocean by heavy rains.

They said the photos were "unbelievable" and added: "We have seen many stunning photos of environmental damage, which is the worst at the moment."

The problem of pollution of the Honduran coast with garbage from the Motagua River in Guatemala has been troubling the area for some time.

Ms. Bauer said: 'There is a lack of infrastructure and education in this area. Many people burn or throw rubbish into the river.'

The European Marine Protected Group said the photos made them 'shocked, saddened and angry but not surprising.'

They added: 'If we do not change our behavior from now on, there will be more plastic in the sea than fish.'

Ms. Bauer said she hopes her pictures encourage others to 'change habits and everyday life and help protect the planet.'
