That's just sad.. but on the bright side, they can see the advantages of setting new waste removal procedures. Not only for humans, but sea life as well

Came here to say this. Sad. Also that article is from 2017… so I can only guess it is even worse now?

Nope. Mumbai's beaches have been getting progressively cleaner, and while there's still more than can be done, I think it's a great start. I've grown up on those beaches and I've seen first hand how different they look compared to what they did 10+ years ago.

It was clean when I went to that particular beach in 2019. Recently I visited other beach and this was also clean. Not squeaky clean but at least not garbage piled up.

Because, the reason is people there and in many other parts of Asia just directly dump truckloads of garbage into rivers. They confirmed that river dumping is the source of these particular never ending tsunamis of garbage…. Shocking indeed.
