Consider some of what I've seen. In the area I live in, people think that behind the MS River levee is a dump! Anything from tv's, furniture, old garage doors, and one crew barge that I have personally witnessed offloading their trash onto land and burning it! Yes, I've called em in to the levee board, WLF and state police but nothing is ever done.
All of this washes out into the GOM. If I were a betting man, I'd put money on the idea that "my" area isn't the only one guilty of actions like these. Litter hits the GOM from as far north as Minnesota or and as far south as in the GOM itself.
Even my dad has passed comment as to how trashy some of the people are here! It's sad to see such beautiful land get treated with such little respect!
