Theme: Get rid of plastic.
Dr Abe V Rotor
Folded plastic bears remnants of organisms from fish fry to crustaceans trapped in this plastic bag. The cause of death is asphyxiation and exposure to unfavorable conditions and predators. Entombment in sand and detritus seals their fate, so with countless marine organisms lured into this artificial abode.
The part of this plastic sheet that is exposed to sunlight shows initial algal growth, but it is just a temporary foothold. Plastics find their way to sea via the tides and flowing rivers, littering and direct dumping. Plastic bottles to car parts outlive humans, for which they are dubbed immortal. White Sands Resort.
