Background

Grassholm is a small island off the southwest coast of Wales. Presently, it is uninhabited and houses the National Nature Reserve — a crucial breeding site for gannets. An abundance of marine life, especially porpoises and bottlenose dolphins, inhabit the adjacent waters. Unfortunately, the island suffers from an influx of marine plastics brought to the island by breeding gannets. The gannets mistakenly identify floating plastic as seaweed and use it as nesting material.

This plantation was also unique because its first enslaved peoples were American Indians forced from Massachusetts to work in the Caribbean by the original settlers of Red Hill Farm in New England.
