Neon Ocean

I grew up in a coastal town, lulled by the sound of waves crashing and gorging the sand with salty goodness. I spent my entire childhood in and around the ocean. Swimming in it was the recommended cure for any ailment. Over the course of my lifetime, I have seen the beaches in my hometown fill up with more and more litter. The plastic debris along its shoreline overwhelms the eye - sachets, cups, bottles, garments, nets - but is only a fraction of what's swirling in the vast blue.
