Affected by global ocean pollution, poor waste management, monsoon blows and other issues, the beaches of the resort island of Bali in Indonesia have recently been covered with plastic waste, making people think it is a garbage dump. According to the "Guardian" report, Wayan Puja, the environment and health officer of Badong District in Bali Province, said that the beaches of Kuta, Legian and Seminyak on the island were damaged on New Year's Day alone on January 1. 30 tons of garbage were cleared out, which even doubled to 60 tons on the 2nd. Puja lamented, "Every day we deploy people, trucks and bulldozers and have been working hard to clean up the beach, but garbage keeps washing ashore." Denise Hardesty, chief scientist of the Australian CSIRO, who collaborates with Indonesian marine pollution researchers, revealed This actually happens every year, and waste has been increasing over the past 10 years. Every year when the southwest monsoon blows, Bali's beaches tend to be filled with garbage. Hardesty said that the surge in plastic waste is related to the increase in global plastic production. Although plastic waste is found on beaches around the world, it is indeed more affected by seasonality in monsoon countries. Source: Environmental Information Center
