Hawaii islands’ marine debris issue caught on film

Divers – and increasingly the general public – are aware of the problems of plastic and man-made pollution in our oceans, but anything that can help raise the profile of this global issue is welcomed, such as this short film shot in Hawaii.

Made by acclaimed film-maker Steven Gnam, it has been released by the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation with the aim of highlighting the issues, and clean-up efforts, in the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument in the island chain.

Due to their location, the islands naturally act as a sort of funnel, channelling a massive amount of ocean debris that gets dropped into the water all over the Pacific rim.

The film showcases the stunning natural beauty of Hawaii and its diverse waters, but also shows the problems caused by plastic pollution.

You can watch the video, and read more about the problem – and its solutions – here.

 

This week on the podcast, a fairly damning report on the Red Sea Authorities following the Sea Story sinking. A couple of new records including a photoshoot at 50m and an underwater walking distance record. And a Malaysian dive resort has had its licence officially revoked by the government.

#AskMark - hey Mark. Thanks for all your great content. Can you please discuss the ins and outs of Partial vs Continuous Blend (and “banked” - if that’s different) nitrox? I know you need an 02 cleaned cylinder for PB but not for CB? Can you go back and forth between air and nitrox fills with CB or banked? Thanks!
