This photo shows plastic and tiny pieces of microplastic collected during a beach cleanup. When plastic breaks into very small pieces, it does not disappear. These microplastics stay in the sand and water and can be eaten by animals. This photo reminds us that reducing plastic waste and cleaning our beaches helps protect the sea and its wildlife.
