The Voyage to Kure team saves the lives of seabirds

In writing about my Earthkeeper hero, Jean-Michel Cousteau, I discovered "Voyage to Kure." The Voyage to Kure team has found garbage such as small plastic toys and cigarette lighters, that has been eaten by birds, and dropped thousands of miles away from where the garbage was tossed. My picture shows a girl throwing garbage on a beach and an albatross picking it up and eating it. The bird then flies many miles to a desolate island in the uninhabited Pacific. The Voyage to Kure team then finds the sick albatross and clears its throat, saving its life.
