For thousands of years, Makah Tribal fishermen like Robert Moss have relied on the waters of Washington's Neah Bay for traditional foods. Today, however, the tribe faces a significant threat from marine debris, including a massive 3,000-ton abandoned highway bridge, which jeopardizes their ancestral waters and the health of their fishing community.
