Glenn, It's hard to say if most of that junk was beach litter or if it washed in with the tide. It's the Pacific, so I think a lot of it originates offshore. I suspect the bird died from mistaking small bits of plastic for food. I have no idea what killed the fish, but there were also several smaller ones washed up on the beach yesterday. It's interesting that there were no birds (and not even my dog!) showing any desire to get anywhere near that fish. Maybe that's how the bird died...
Sussah, Hopefully Jack had a better end than his hat.
What the hell is this, Rick? Even in Japan, people are so crass and careless?
