Most of it is lobster buoys that went adrift, but bags and bags of plastic bottles. Regulations that will limit running a generator or your engine for charging in some crowded harbors, are coming, I have no doubt. There are some restrictions already that are aimed at noise polution, but it will have the same effect. Most people out there on boats are responsible, but the nimrods always spoil it.

The day before I saw the trailer full of plastic on Isle Au Haut, I watched a lobsterboat go by on Swans Island. The sternman pulled out a large white plastic bag from the bait tote, and tossed it overboard. He loudly muttered, "Whoops!!" Pretty sad to watch.
