Interactive Diving Debris Map

For anybody interested in what lies on the ocean floor, this interactive diving debris map shows a map of many diving sites in various regions of the world and some of the items collected by divers at the sea floor!




I looked at several of the dive sites and noticed a pattern. Most of the items are not artifacts or anything interesting my any means - it is mainly plastic

Even in the empty open waters of the Atlantic and Pacific, there's still traces of waste and garbage due to human littering. There's plastic food wrappers in even the least most populated areas! 




This site gives insight to just how much litter humans are responsible for and advice on how we can help clean up after ourselves. We must all do our share to keep our waterways clean; it's a collective effort between all of us!


I MEAN COME ON PEOPLE DON'T BE NASTY
