and some, like sailor Ivan Macfadyen pictured above
are reporting noticeable changes in just the past decade to the life within.
You can read a little of what Ivan had to say at the below link:

The fact that Cities like Mobile choose to ignore the garbage
rotting in all their urban waterways
only confirms the way this generation is treating the Earth.
Fuck it. Let the children deal with our over population problems.
There seems to be an unending amount of money available
to give to engineering companies for watershed studies
and to repair damage done by other engineering projects,
but no money seems to be available to clean waterways.
Mobile doesn't even require storm water inlet filters
even though they know runoff is a major source of waterway pollution.
Oh well, keep filling up the Earth's waterways with plastic and chemicals.
The Dead Zones in the Earth's Oceans and Seas will keep growing.
I don't think the Oceans are broken yet, but Mobile sure is.
