In 2007 I visited the enchanted island of Yakushima where loggerhead sea turtles migrate each year to lay eggs on the clean sandy beaches.
In 2019 I returned to a disheartening scene of buoys, longlines, gillnets, traps, pots, oars, hulls, buckets, containers, bottles, balloons, and so much more.
Paradise lost in just a dozen years. Sigh.
