Ocean Plastic - Episode 1 - Paradise Polluted (16 Min)

Plastic is everywhere... even in the paradise of the Hawaiian Islands. It is adversely impacting birds and wildlife in one of the most remote places on earth, Midway Atoll, isolated in the Pacific. Join Nico and the "Wild Kids" in their efforts to understand the impacts and to try and educate everyone to "Turn off the tap!" Meet the world's oldest banded wild bird, "Wisdom"... who may have life lessons to share with all of us. (First film in a three-part series!)
