Did you identify the scariest thing in the sea? Did you guess jelly, ctenophore, or maybe a salp?

You’d be wrong. One of the scariest things in the sea is trash that escapes from our homes, schools, and lives. If it’s hard for us to identify, you can see why animals like sea turtles, seabirds and others accidently eat trash.

The DEEPEND Research team aboard the R/V Point Sur, sent us a Postcard from the DEEPEND.
