Lego From The Sea: Fishermen Find Lost Toys After 27 Years
A Fisherman's Catch
A fisherman in Devon, England, has made an extraordinary catch: a rare Lego shark that had been lost at sea for 27 years. The shark, which is part of a set of Lego pieces that were spilled from a cargo ship in 1997, was found caught in a fisherman's net.
The fisherman, who wished to remain anonymous, said that he was surprised to find the Lego shark in his net. "I've been fishing for over 20 years, and I've never seen anything like this before," he said. "It's amazing to think that this toy has been floating around in the ocean for all these years."
The Lego shark is in relatively good condition, considering its age. It is missing a few pieces, but it is still recognizable as a shark. The fisherman said that he plans to clean the shark up and give it to his son, who is a Lego fan.
Lego's Lost Cargo
The Lego shark is just one of many pieces of Lego that have been found washed up on beaches around the world in recent years. In 1997, a cargo ship carrying 4.8 million Lego pieces spilled its load into the ocean. The pieces have been washing up on beaches ever since, and they have become a popular collector's item.
Lego has been working to reduce the environmental impact of its products. In 2020, the company announced that it would be phasing out single-use plastic packaging. Lego is also working on developing new materials that are more sustainable.
The Importance of Recycling
The Lego shark found in Devon is a reminder of the importance of recycling. When we recycle plastic, we help to keep it out of the ocean and prevent it from harming marine life. We can all do our part to help the environment by recycling our plastic waste.
