Despite regular coastal clean ups by the communities, trash keeps on coming in as long as the rest of the world keeps on dumping trash to the ocean... because the ocean is just one. I don't know about better policies regarding clean up measures but I am advocating for values here which is respecting and care for that which gives us life - nature. Or else, we just have to evolve into something else in the future that makes us adapt to a world without ocean life or even without the ocean.
