Sargassum Swimming Crab in Plastic Bag

A sargassum swimming crab (Portunus sayi) takes shelter in a drifting plastic bag. Ocean currents bring floating mats of sargassum and, increasingly, plastic and other debris together. It is estimated plastic will out-weigh fish by 2050 if trends continue. Image made off Contoy Island, Mexico.
