Russ Lewis’s discoveries along Long Beach Peninsula exemplify the ongoing environmental impact of shipping container loss, highlighting the peculiar nature of beach debris.
Over 20,000 shipping containers have fallen into the ocean over the last 15 years, contributing to marine pollution and posing threats to wildlife.
The World Shipping Council estimates about 1,500 containers are lost at sea annually, but experts suggest the actual figure could be significantly higher.
Many items now washing ashore, like mismatched Crocs, are remnants of global shipping mishaps, revealing broader issues of waste and environmental degradation.
