Trash

The beaches in the Bahamas are among the most beautiful in the world.  Walking along a pink sand beach enjoying the soft sand and every shade of blue imaginable makes the trash that washes up on the beach especially upsetting.  The variety and quantity of plastic on the beaches is incredible.  The floating debris comes from hundreds, sometimes thousands of miles away.  Frighteningly the amount that washes ashore is a small amount compared to that which is floating in the ocean, often being mistaken for food by unsuspecting sea life.
