If you’ve spent any time at all looking around under the sea, you know there is a LOT of trash floating around down there. From plastic bags and plastic straws to old fishing lines and ghost nets, a pretty big portion of the stuff we throw away ends up on the seafloor. That, of course, is no good for the animals that call the ocean home. This scuba diver is taking matters into his own hands by picking up as much trash as he can find on every dive he does. And in the process, he’s found himself in some pretty unique situations, like unwrapping a whole bunch of fishing line off a nurse shark that was pinned to the bottom.
