In the 1990's a massive cleanup removed most of the trash from the bays and landfills. There are presently several ongoing studies watching the recovery of the McMurdo Bay area. It is now a crime to leave any trash anywhere but in a proper trash receptacle. As I stated above you would not believe the number of different trash containers. In the computer room alone there are cans for 12 different types of trash.
People are very serious here about recycling and proper disposal.
It is too bad we are not like this in the states. The rest of the day was spent in the lab again running my tests. I again extracted blood from all of my fish and injected some of them with the t3 and thiourea hormones. There is not much to write about there except to tell any that are worried about the fish that I fish put them into an anesthetic so that they suffer no pain. There should be some excitement tomorrow as I head outdoors again and then again on Wednesday and Thursday as we are going on our long trips and should be running into some penguins.
