"Plastic is so durable that every bit of plastic ever made still exists in our environment.” I experienced this reality at 25 meters while exploring a cargo shipwreck in the Maldivian waters, when I saw a carton of cigarettes which was intact, in its original plastic packing as though it had never been touched. After 30 years that thin plastic still remains in the depths of the ocean. Every year, billions of pounds of plastic end up in the world's oceans and I can not help but wonder what the future of our oceans would be and how they would look after years of continuous ignorance.
