Description
This poignant image captures a hermit crab, a creature synonymous with finding shelter, now forced to inhabit a discarded plastic bottle cap. The irony is stark: a species reliant on discarded shells for survival now finds itself trapped by the very waste that threatens its existence. This photograph serves as a stark reminder of the pervasive nature of plastic pollution and its devastating impact on marine life. It compels viewers to confront the reality of ocean plastic and consider their role in mitigating this global crisis.
