Yayınlanma: 06 October 2024 - 00:01

Wide scale pollution has turned some of the world's most beautiful beaches into trash heaps. From Hawaii's Kamilo Beach — which is so littered by man-made debris that it earned the nickname "Plastic Beach" — to Henderson Island, a remote, uninhabited island in the South Pacific whose beaches are some of the dirtiest on Earth, these former sandy paradises now resemble garbage dumps.

Foreshores Beach
Foreshores Beach, Sydney, Australia It is located between Sydney Airport and Port Botany, Foreshores Beach has repeatedly been ranked "very poor" by the New South Wales Office of Environment and Heritage in its annual "State of the Beaches" report. The abysmal rating signifies that this estuarine beach "is very susceptible to fecal pollution and microbial water quality may often be unsuitable for swimming." In 2014, Foreshores was briefly closed to the public when the water became mysteriously tinted orange. High in iron, the bright-colored plume was deemed non-toxic by the New South Wales Environmental Protection Authority.
