IF YOU GIVE A BEACH A BOTTLE

Inspired by a picture book, Max Romey heads to a remote beach on Alaska's coastline in search of marine debris. What he finds is a different story altogether.
"Five years ago I returned from an ocean plastics clean-up on the remote shores of Kayak Island in Alaska. I wanted to share about the amount of marine debris and the solutions to address this problem, but the more I looked into it the more overwhelming and complex the issue became for me. This slow-moving tsunami of plastic sat in the back of my head until I returned home and had time to look at this issue in a new light. I still find marine debris overwhelming and complex but sharing the big picture helps me see the ways amazing people from all over could come together to find solutions." - Max Romey
