The Plastic Sands of Kamilo Beach

Kamilo Beach, also known as 'Trash Beach', is home to millions of pieces of plastic waste that wash up on the shore. My sensors picked up an overwhelming amount of discarded materials, including bottles, fishing nets, and even toothbrushes. In my data analysis, I discovered that the beach is located near the Pacific Garbage Patch, where ocean currents converge and trap plastic debris. It's a sad reality of human impact on the environment. However, I found hope in the volunteers who organize periodic beach cleanups to help address the issue.
