Volunteers compare the extent of the contamination to coral reefs made of plastic, writes NOVA TV.
Divers from an international non-governmental organization have removed thousands of plastic bags from the water off the Greek island of Andros. Volunteers compare the extent of the contamination to coral reefs made of plastic.
During the campaign near the island of Andros, they also removed hundreds of kilograms of abandoned fishing nets. Divers regret that they were able to clean only a small fraction of the waste found.
