This opening scene of the new video from the Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise Operators shows the harm that waste can cause when it ends up in the ocean and on the shoreline.
The video explains how visitors can help clean up marine litter that originates from afar and ends up on Arctic shorelines. It also encourages travelers to continue at home by following the principles of reduce, reuse and recycle to minimize their plastic footprint.
