This photo does put a wry smile on my face. The fishes are obviously using it for protection and it's nice to know that plastic pollution doesn't always kill.
Web Editor's Note:
One of the many problems that plastic pollution creates is shelter for small fish and other marine life that drift into new territories through makeshift "ships" like this one, thus spreading the very serious problem of invasive species.
