A seal that got stranded on the beach. Globally, 100,000 marine mammals die every year as a result of plastic pollution. Tonnes of plastic into its oceans and this goes on to indiscriminately kill marine mammals, birds and other creatures. Marine debris can be fatal for these creatures through ingestion (eating) or entanglement in plastic-based fishing gear. Marine mammals, of course, don’t understand the dangers plastics pose to them.Turning this tide starts at an individual level -Reduce and recycle, to keep these beautiful marine mammals would also have the chance to survive just like us.

Other than Cosmetic Dentistry, my Sphynx Cat Zucky and Zooky, I only have few passion in life that I find it so consuming in my mind - that is photography. I am an amateur photographer that enjoy the art of photography, and appreciate the ability to preserve memories and moments. My passion for photography leads me to travels extensively in pursuit of adventure and photographs Cultural, Scenics & Wildlife.
