I was wondering how the title could possibly be true. Sea turtles return to the beach they were born on to lay eggs, so if there haven't been any born there for decades, it's reasonable that there are very few turtles born there still alive.

Good eye. There is a city in the background of the After shot, so it could be a different spot on the same beach, assuming it's a very long beach. But that also could mean that the other part of the beach is still full of garbage. Probably most likely different locations, and the creator is just trying to send a message.

Well they develop by weeks, easier to track the size and development by weeks/month rather than years till he turns 2 after two it’s by years. If someone is buying your kids clothes and they’re 18 months and you say he’s a year old your going to get the wrong size same if you say 2 years old.

I googled Versova beach and the top result showed the cleanup of this beach. It took years, and the UN gave an award to the volunteer that organized it.
"Led by spirited young lawyer and environmentalist Afroz Shah, volunteers collected a staggering 5.3 million kilograms of decomposing trash and plastic from the 2.5 kilometer stretch of beach over a period of 21 months."

Idk if this some anti vaxx coent or other, but in the caae of COVID it's actually kinda true.
When people were isolated and vaccine free, city environmenta vastly improved because most people were either not working or working from home, so there was much less commuting, a drop in cases, severity and vaccine all changes this and the environment will feel the difference

Technically, it comes from waterways emptying into the sea nearby. Cut off the trash entering the ocean to begin with and you won't have trash washing up on the beach.

I don't say this lightly, but India is the last place on my list to visit after many documentaries and redditor stories. Some places are beautiful, but I am not sponsoring the crap that goes on there. The last documentary I watched was about how the majority of the bus drivers in a particular area rape little boys with nowhere else to go for a buck or two, and it's just a normal Tuesday. The crazy gathering around of beautiful women to post online that it's their girlfriend, the general rape culture in those popular tourist places like Bangladesh. All of the pollution they cause to the ocean, the disregard for the laborers lives who are regularly lost when decommissioning ships in the shipyards...one of the scam capitals of the world...nah I'm good. I know my country has a lot of issues, but there are better countries than that to contribute to. Also, I realize I may be downvoted as this is all generalizing, but I know of few other "1st world" countries that have more glaring issues than many places of India.
