Also, strangely, the plastic waste is quite photogenic with its vibrant colours and varied shapes.

The issue of the plastic waste floating in the oceans and overfishing around the world has recently been brought to attention more then ever before. The pollution and over-exploration are a big problem in our modern times, and Save the Sardine is an important message.
