Laurie Penland was doing some diving off of the coast of Belize, near a portion of the unique and wonderful Meso-American Barrier reef. This amazing reef system includes various protected areas and parks including the Belize Barrier Reef, Arrecifes de Cozumel National Park, Hol Chan Marine Reserve, Sian Ka'an biosphere reserve, and the Cayos Cochinos Marine Park. Laurie was stationed at Smithsonian Marine Research Station on Carrie Bow and when I came across her story today "Witness to a Plastic Invasion" , felt I had to share...read it and watch the video. Her stunning underwater video posted along with her self reflection on the 2 day event is worth a read and a share. What do you see in your daily life and in the ocean?
