🌊 Why are these rocky cracks full of plastic? From the surface, they seem empty. But deep inside, hidden under seaweed and grass, they become plastic traps. Here in Rogaland, Norway, the wind and waves push floating trash from the open sea straight into these narrow crevices. Near the entrance, the water still moves… but deeper down, the current dies, and the plastic stays. 🟢 Seaweed and vegetation act like filters, catching wrappers, ropes, and bottles that can remain stuck for years. We call them hotspots: invisible from above, but packed with pollution. 💬 In this single crack, we removed over 80 kilos of plastic. 📍Rogaland, Norw
