See Glass, Sea Glass

Finding sea glass along the beach as an adult is like finding coins on the shore as a child. 


Most of the time the sea glass is dark in color.  No doubt because darker glass makes it more difficult for things to decay as some things are photoreactive. Beth loves the aqua and soft mint green especially.  She has themed her home around these colors. 

All of these things are a result of sea littering.  This is either through ships that sank or tossing glass articles, bottles and such overboard.  It isn't kind to the marine life.

Often on autopsy of a whale, otter, dolphin, seal or another such living things, human objects are found inside.  Definitely they cause the death of these magnificent animals as they suffocate.
