Carnival of the Blue Lucky #13

Yeah, you're old.
c. 1970's-1980's branding.

Please tell me that's not a recent photo...

hmmm. must be 80s. I'm not THAT old ;)

Photo was from this website with the following caption:

"Solid waste dumping is also a major problem which is on the rise. Waste disposal at sea increased fourfold in the United States in the twenty years following World War II. The amount and dispersal of our solid waste is incredible.
Almost everywhere in the ocean a bathyscaphe diver will land within sight of our litter to such an extent that it becomes difficult to keep these trivial objects out of
camera range! (Cousteau 417).

Because the sea is accessible to all nations, it is possible for everyone to dump waste in these waters. There is really no effective way of enforcing dumping restrictions.

Anyone who knows what you're referring to is revealing their own age.

Antarctic Sea bottom... yikes!

Let's hope Coca Cola doesn't go for the deep sea market.
