The Human Impact
As a photographer that is tasked with documenting life on this planet, there are many things that I come across on my travels that leave me disgusted, depressed and in a bad mood. This image below is one of those scenes. While I did not take this photo, I can relate, having seen similar dumping sites while diving in various regions of our beautiful oceans.#saddayforhumanity UPDATE:
For everyone that wants a little backstory:
"In 1972, a nonprofit group came up with a brilliant idea: Create a three-mile-long artificial reef off the South Florida coast using 2 million old tires. Goodyear donated the rubber, Broward County forked over the funds, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers signed off. The plan quickly went to hell, however. Coral didn't grow on the tires. Fish didn't flock to the rubber reef. Then the tires began coming loose, crashing around in the current and destroying natural reefs nearby. The environmental effort became an ecological disaster."
