A plastic bottle takes 450 years to degrade. That drink today? Still haunting the sea in 2475.
Fingerprints In The Water is for readers ready to care. Out June 8 - World Ocean Day

A small white plastic jug with a handle lies on sandy ground, surrounded by scattered natural debris including dried brown leaves, various seashells, pieces of driftwood, and weathered organic matter. The scene appears to be beach litter mixed with natural coastal materials, creating a contrast between the discarded plastic container and the organic elements that have washed ashore.

Vibrant underwater coral reef scene with diverse marine life. In the foreground, a large dark coral formation with white spotted patterns hosts two bright yellow butterflyfish with distinctive black markings near their eyes. The reef features various coral structures in browns, blues, and whites scattered across the seafloor. Multiple tropical fish swim throughout the crystal-clear blue water, including small silver fish in schools, a black tang, and an orange and white striped fish. Additional small orange fish are visible near the coral formations on the right side of the image. The water is exceptionally clear, creating excellent visibility of this thriving coral ecosystem.

By 2050, there could be more plastic than fish in the ocean by weight.
A dystopia? No—just unchecked reality.

A view of Lake Ontario at Humber Bay showing the Toronto skyline with several tall residential and office towers rising above the treeline. In the foreground, calm blue water reflects the buildings, while a bright yellow kayak with paddlers can be seen on the lake. The shoreline is lined with mature trees and rocky areas. The image illustrates the urban waterfront setting where researchers discovered microplastics in fish caught from these waters.
