Question

Your friend has invited you onto her family's boat for a day of fishing. after lunch on the boat, your friend wants to throw a bag of trash overboard. after researching the impact currents have on objects, explain what you would do in this situation and why.

Answer 1

I would tell my friend not to toss the bag, just hang onto the trash aboard and toss it away when we get back to land for the reason that trash can float to animals and hurt them. It could also cycle for decades and cause harm to organisms or food source.
