During the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Marine Conservation Society, the Prince Of Wales speaks about the threat of beach litter to marine wildlife.
He applauded the new marine reserves set up in Scotland and the UK to prevent overfishing, but spoke mostly of the plastic littler destroying beaches worldwide.
He spoke about them being an eyesore, but noted that even worse is what they do to marine wildlife. Mentioning albatross and other animals, he pleaded people to stop littering. The Marine Conservation Society has been scheduling beach clean ups that Prince Charles has praised.
