Oh, the irony: smiling, happy faces stamped on plastic bottle caps don’t belong in the belly of a baby albatross. They shouldn’t exist in the first place!

Before I get into the thick of post-5IMDC analysis, I want to first do a mini-post about SEA and marine debris. But first, some context… Last week, during 5IMDC, I participated in a field trip to Pier 38 in Honolulu to see a fish auction. We got up at 5:30am and watched these guys go…
