Factoid

Today's Factoid

This is the most recent factoid that has been added. Factoids are typically published Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

Balloons are so common in the ocean, some fishers are intentionally catching them!

"A small group of fishermen are making a big impact by catching more than just seafood on their fishing trips, collecting any balloons they see while out on the water. We recognize their stewardship this Earth Day and invite you to join in their efforts to combat marine debris, one balloon at a time!" - Excerpt from NOAA
