Sunken relics, ghostly shipwrecks, and lost cities aren’t just wonders found in fictional adventures. Beneath the ocean’s surface, there are ruins where people once roamed and shipwrecks loaded with artifacts from another time. Peter Campbell takes us into the huge underwater museum that is our ocean to see what these artifacts can tell us about humanity.
Lesson by Peter Campbell, animation by Blind Pig.

Situation isn't really that bad. A great deal of the plastic waste in oceans has been the result of foolish recycling efforts. Those have largely ceased. Most plastics are ending up in landfills, where they're reasonably well contained in wealthy countries.

@@toothpasteman3400 It's the recycling effort. If there hadn't been such an aggressive push to recycle plastics, tons of plastics would be in landfills instead of in the oceans. The pollution occurring now is primarily occurring in developing countries. As they become richer, they'll become increasingly concerned about environmental factors...just as we have. They'll have an accelerated timeline as well because of the technology they'll have at their disposal. A cold look at the reality is heartening unless governments get in the way of this natural evolution.

I believe the field of underwater archeology to promise extraordinary potential in exposing yet another era of archaic human history. There's a lot of reason to excuse assuming the birth of civilization to around 10,000 years roughly within Mesopotamia and the east Mediterranean, but consider the records and lores about global floods which resulted from glacial melting at the end of the last great ice age -- records that have just barely managed to hang on in places like Australian aboriginal cave walls and in sumarian cuniform. Considering these elements as well as the trend of coastal migration of early modern humans, doesn't it seem like our coastal shelves may hold some pretty profound relics of a forgotten past?
