Fishing For Rubbish

A large fishing net seems to have picked up more plastic and debris than the catch. The haul included everything from chocolate wrappers to milk packets, showing the extent of garbage that gets discarded into natural water bodies. Apart from polluting oceans and causing harm to aquatic species, the image portrays how plastic pollution affects the livelihood of fishing communities.
