Trip to the Hassel Island

The day was perfect, we dropped our dingy in to the water and headed out to a secluded beach on the south side of Hassel Island. I was really looking forward to it because I have never visited this place before and I wanted to see what kind of pollution we are going to encounter there. Of course, I was hoping for a clean beach so we can relax and enjoy the beauty of it all, but we did find the trash, of course plastic was everywhere! How sad, take a look at these photos.

: There is our beach …. what do you think, we are going to find plastic or not?

: Beauty or the beast?

: Well, at list they know how to enjoy this beauty!

: There we go, plastic caps and some Styrofoam piece that no one is missing.

: Look what we got here, KFC cup together with his buddies!

: Plastic bottles in their natural habitat! I wonder if it’s a mating season?

: Nice, a sea urchin, yes he suppose to be here…

: Just another plastic piece with a Coke bottle and a piece of Styrofoam

: This island seam to be collecting almost exclusively plastic bottles

: It might be a good thing we can easily identify those Coke bottles

: Going back a little disappointed but excited after a long overdue swim in the tropics :)
