Marine Mystery: Bales of rubber washing up on Florida beaches
State officials believe they may be from a ship that sank during WWII off the coast of Brazil. Author: Jessica Clark Updated: 8:18 PM EDT July 16, 2021
ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. A marine mystery is washing up on Florida beaches.
They’re large blocks or cubes of what is believed to be rubber from WWII.
While these incidents entail some historic intrigue, they also demonstrate how trash travels in the ocean. It’s an unusual case, Dr. Jennifer McGee with the Florida Fish Wildlife Conservation Commission said.
She explained nearly two dozen cube-shaped bundles have washed up all over Florida beaches in the last year or so. They ve been found in the Florida Keys, Palm Beach, and Cocoa Beach, among other places.
