As part of an unprecedented effort to map and better understand the history of ocean dumping in the region, scientists have found a multitude of discarded munition boxes, smoke floats and depth charges lurking 3,000 feet underwater.
And you know that it wasn’t just the one dump site, or only the US military doing it… The amount of toxic shit tossed in the ocean by every country in the world in the past and currently must be astounding.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Millions of gallons of DDT were apparently dumped there as well, and not even in barrels, just dumped from tanker barges!
You know, the chemical that fucks the food chain all the way up to the bald eagle and condor?
