TV the other night, Skokholm Island where a big colony of Gannets nest every year. The bird wardens go on it at the end of the nesting period to rescue about 100 to 200 young birds trapped in the fishing line the adults use to build the nest. Not all fishing line, bin liners, plastic bottles etc but a lot of it fishing stuff, mainly commercial to be fair; netting and such like. Its just the scale of it that is shocking, they estimate its several tons interwoven in these nests. You see this sort of thing all the time now all round the world and that's apart from it building up in fish and much more.
I don't know, its just the scale of it now that gets to me; its everywhere you look and tons of it.
If its not already, is this heading towards the most damaging pollution event in human history?
