These birds always come back year after year but the island is slowly changing colour. As you get closer it has a blue and orange tinge to it. The cause? Thousands and thousands of pieces of plastic netting and line, polypropylene and monofilament. Rather than using weed or other natural debris the Gannets are making their nests from our pollution. Unfortunately it is also causing entanglement and we suspect they are ingesting much of it. A clear indication of how our throw away lifestyles are having a devastating impact on the ocean environment and the animals that live in it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]
