Ruining the Fish We
Catch?
The recreational boats
that have 3 smokers aboard going out for a day of beer and fishing.
Returning with no empty
beverage containers, cigarette butts, or single used plastic bags.
My guess is that
recreational boaters are not the only ones polluting and Littering our waters!
Fish are not the only
things being polluted, everything in the waters is becoming a cancer trap including
endangered species!
Bottom carpeting.
The food chain in any
area starts with the bugs and seaweed living on the bottom.
The bottom becomes
covered with the cans and bottles and the exposed sea or lake floor of mud and
seaweed is reduced.
If you have 20
littering boats drinking and littering two 12 packs for 100 days during the
year, they would have littered 24,000 beverage containers.
This means each year
they carpet 28,000 square feet of the bottom terrain.
Cigarette butts are one
of the worst items to flick overboard.
Fish will eat them
before the end of the day.
Now the cancer chemicals
from the plastic and in the fish you are catching and grilling up at home.
