Chaque c\u00f4t\u00e9 de l’\u00eele re\u00e7oit des d\u00e9bris marins. Le c\u00f4t\u00e9 Est est certainement le plus touch\u00e9, car il a le plaisir de subir les vents dominants du Nord-Est. Ces vents apportent avec eux des d\u00e9chets plastiques provenant de toutes les Cara\u00efbes. On y trouve des bouteilles, des couvercles, des seaux en plastique, des pinces \u00e0 cheveux, des tongs, des chaussures, des bouteilles de shampoing et souvent des objets plus volumineux, tels que des mat\u00e9riaux de construction et des petits bateaux.<\/p>\n

Dans le nord de l’\u00eele, vous verrez beaucoup de bouteilles de boissons, dont certaines ont encore leur \u00e9tiquette, ce qui est int\u00e9ressant car vous pouvez voir presque exactement d’o\u00f9 viennent les produits. On peut dire que la plupart des d\u00e9chets proviennent d’Ha\u00efti et de la Jama\u00efque. Ces pays, comme les \u00eeles Ca\u00efmans, ne disposent pas de solutions id\u00e9ales pour l’\u00e9limination des d\u00e9chets. Lors des temp\u00eates, les d\u00e9chets non s\u00e9curis\u00e9s se retrouvent dans l’oc\u00e9an, puis sur les plages.<\/p>\n

7 mile ne re\u00e7oit pas trop de plastique sur la plage. Il y a deux raisons \u00e0 cela :<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. La forme de l’\u00eele fait que cette zone est prot\u00e9g\u00e9e des vents d’est.<\/li>\n
  2. Les h\u00f4tels et les complexes de bungalows ont du personnel qui sort tous les matins pour ramasser tout ce qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 ramen\u00e9 sur le rivage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Cette apparence de propret\u00e9 peut conduire certaines personnes \u00e0 ne pas voir le vrai probl\u00e8me. Ce n’est qu’en arrivant sur les autres rivages que le probl\u00e8me est flagrant. L’\u00eele a vraiment de la chance que Plastic Free Cayman organise des nettoyages de plages.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Les d\u00e9chets plastiques les plus r\u00e9pandus aux \u00eeles Ca\u00efmans<\/h2>\n

    1) Verres et couverts en plastique de bars<\/h3>\n

    Ces articles sont jet\u00e9s tr\u00e8s fr\u00e9quemment le long de la plage de 7 mile. Les bars utilisent encore du plastique \u00e0 usage unique pour chaque boisson consomm\u00e9e sur la plage. Ce probl\u00e8me pourrait \u00eatre r\u00e9solu si les h\u00f4tels, les bars et les restaurants mettaient en place un syst\u00e8me de consigne pour l’utilisation de gobelets r\u00e9utilisables, qui pourraient m\u00eame \u00eatre fabriqu\u00e9s \u00e0 partir du plastique trouv\u00e9 sur la plage. Chaque commande \u00e0 emporter est \u00e9galement accompagn\u00e9e de nombreux couverts en plastique. Une grande partie de ces couverts finit dans la mer, et m\u00eame si ces couverts sont jet\u00e9s de mani\u00e8re respectueuse, ils finiront dans des d\u00e9charges, ce qui est loin d’\u00eatre id\u00e9al.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    2) Chaussures, tongs et autres \u00e2mes perdues<\/h3>\n

    Je ne m’attendais pas \u00e0 voir autant de chaussures ! O\u00f9 sont les propri\u00e9taires ? O\u00f9 est l’autre chaussure ? Nous ne le saurons jamais. Mais ce que nous savons, c’est qu’elles flottent jusqu’\u00e0 ce qu’elles soient recouvertes de formes de vie marine (bernacles et algues). Une fois qu’elles sont suffisamment alourdies, elles coulent et viennent s’ajouter \u00e0 la couche de d\u00e9chets lourds qui se trouve au fond de l’oc\u00e9an. Prenez soin de vos chaussures ! Tant qu’elles flottent, elles sont transport\u00e9es \u00e0 travers les oc\u00e9ans jusqu’aux plages comme celles qu’on trouve ici aux \u00eeles Ca\u00efmans.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    3) Bouteilles et bouchons en plastique<\/h3>\n

    Les bouteilles en plastique se retrouvent sur les plages pour de multiples raisons. Certaines flottent en provenance d’autres pays, d’autres sont abandonn\u00e9es par les baigneurs locaux, d’autres encore proviennent de p\u00eacheurs qui les utilisent pour localiser leur proie : certains p\u00eacheurs plantent des crochets dans un requin, y attachent des bouteilles en plastique flottantes, puis reviennent plus tard avec les outils n\u00e9cessaires pour tuer leur prise. Parfois, les requins sont oubli\u00e9s et luttent pour survivre alors qu’ils sont accroch\u00e9s \u00e0 ces flotteurs.<\/p>\n

    Les bouchons sont fabriqu\u00e9s \u00e0 partir d’un plastique plus dur que celui des r\u00e9cipients et c’est pourquoi on en voit tant sur le littoral. Le plastique plus fin utilis\u00e9 pour fabriquer les bouteilles est facilement \u00e9miett\u00e9 par les vagues, ce qui cr\u00e9e \u00e9norm\u00e9ment de micro-plastique toxique.<\/p>\n

    4)\u00a0Plastique fragment\u00e9 m\u00e9connaissable<\/h3>\n

    C’est la sc\u00e8ne la plus courante ici aux \u00eeles Ca\u00efmans. Certains d\u00e9chets ont \u00e9t\u00e9 emport\u00e9s par le vent sur des kilom\u00e8tres et des kilom\u00e8tres avant d’atterrir sur les plages de sable doux. Pendant ce temps, ils seront br\u00fbl\u00e9s par le soleil, battus et \u00e9rod\u00e9s en morceaux de plus en plus petits. Souvent, les poissons prennent ces fragments pour de la nourriture. Le plastique reste alors coinc\u00e9 dans leur estomac et finit par provoquer la mort de l’animal. Ce sc\u00e9nario n’est pas rare, ce qui est rare aujourd’hui c’est de trouver un animal marin qui ne soit pas mort de ces causes.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    5) D\u00e9chets de p\u00eache<\/h3>\n

    Les d\u00e9chets de p\u00eache sont les principaux d\u00e9bris que l’on trouve sur les plages du Dorset. Ils ne sont pas aussi fr\u00e9quents ici. Cela peut s’expliquer par le fait qu’il y a beaucoup moins de p\u00eache commerciale dans ces eaux. Les d\u00e9chets de ce type qui sont ramass\u00e9s ne sont g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement qu’une ligne et un hame\u00e7on. Mais ces cas individuels peuvent s’accumuler rapidement. Ramenez toujours votre mat\u00e9riel usag\u00e9 \u00e0 la maison et \u00e9liminez-le correctement.<\/p>\n

    Les types de plastique que nous voyons sur les plages nous rappellent que nous pouvons \u00e9viter d’en rajouter. Lorsque vous devez faire un achat, au lieu de faire les m\u00eames choix que jusqu’\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent, regardez autour de vous. Existe-t-il une alternative z\u00e9ro d\u00e9chet ? Le monde \u00e9volue dans la bonne direction, mais nous sommes encore loin d’avoir trouv\u00e9 un rem\u00e8de. Faites ce que vous pouvez, soyez conscient et faites les bons choix.<\/p>\n
