Volunteer divers of the environmental group Aegean Rebreath gather waste from the bottom of the sea, off the island of Andros, Greece, July 20, 2019. Picture taken July 20, 2019. Like colourful corals, they swayed in the underwater current. Only these were not gorgeous natural reefs built up over centuries but plastic bags, stuck to the golden Aegean seabed since a landfill crumbled into the water eight years ago.

The sea pollution off Andros is thought to date back to 2011, when heavy rain caused an informal waste disposal site to collapse, with most of the materials tumbling into the sea.
