Les déchets continuent de polluer les océans et les animaux marins en font les frais. Un cachalot de 9,5 mètres de long a été retrouvé mort le 19 novembre 2018 dans le parc national de Wakatobi dans le sud-est de l’Indonésie avec un ventre bien rempli. Son estomac contenait 6kg de plastique. D’après les experts, les déchets ont probablement obstrué son système digestif et causé son décès.
Waste continues to pollute the oceans and sea animals are the first to suffer. A 9.5 metre sperm whale was found dead on 19 November 2018 in the Wakatobi national park in the SE of Indonesia with a full belly. It’s stomach contains 6kg of plastic. According to experts the ingested waste more than likely obstructed the whale’s digestive system and caused it’s death.
Des bâches en lambeaux, du raphia et des tongs. Plastic sheets in shreds, rafia and flip-flops
Quelque 115 verres en plastique ont été retrouvés dans les entrailles du cachalot avec 25 sacs en plastique et quatre bouteilles en plastique. L’autopsie du cétacé révèle aussi des bâches en lambeaux, du raphia et des tongs. Les images sont saisissantes et rappellent que la pollution tue. L’Indonésie est d’ailleurs le deuxième plus gros pays pollueur marin après la Chine.
Some 115 plastic containers were recovered from the insides of the sperm-whale with 25 plastic bags and four plastic bottles. The autopsy on the carcass revealed also sheets in shreds, rafia and flip-flops. The images confirmed that pollution was the killer. Indonesia and it’s surroundings is the earth’s second biggest marine polluter after China.

Bill is a member of the Drama League of Ireland and his plays have been critically vetted and certified as original pieces of work by the DLI.
Another literary project is that of commemoration of an aircraft crash on Djouce mountain in Wicklow in 1946. Bill wrote articles for the 50th, 60th and most recently the 70th anniversary, (12 Aug
2016) all were published in the Wicklow Times and ensured the survivors of the crash, all French Girl Guides, were not forgotten. Articles reproduced on this website.
But mostly this site gives a more general European and specific French slant on popular and not so popular articles of French news, translated to English by the author. Each article is translated on a paragraph by paragraph basis so easy to read in either language and even possible to improve either language by comparison of the short English and French paragraphs. Amusez vous bien.
The author is currently writing an easy to read technical aviation book centered around the Fokker 50.
Another interest is that dealt with in another of Bill's websites www.realnamara.net, a Statue of the mother of God, Mary. It was erected in 1972 in Dublin, at the end of the Bull Wall near Clontarf, and my grandfather William Nelson, was the main instigator of that project. I give talks on the history of the statue and my grandfather's adventurous and dangerous life at sea.
