His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"eromero":{"type":"authors","id":"11746","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"11746","found":true},"name":"Ezra David Romero","firstName":"Ezra David","lastName":"Romero","slug":"eromero","email":"eromero@kqed.org","display_author_email":true,"staff_mastheads":["news","science"],"title":"Climate Reporter","bio":"Ezra David Romero is a climate reporter for KQED News.

She's a free diver: no scuba tanks; she just holds her breath.

She emailed him, and he came to look at her collection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Fifty thousand golf balls, just sitting in the garage,\" she says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Savoca was impressed. Weber recalls that he turned to her and said, \" 'You should write a paper about this,' and I was like, 'Matt, I'm 16 years old. I don't know how to write a scientific paper!' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he would help, which meant diving with her. Not easy. \"The oceans off California are actually quite cold, so you suit up in a pretty thick wetsuit,\" he says. \"It's incredibly physically demanding.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They took kayaks out to ferry the golf balls back. \"Once you recover many, many golf balls, you put them on the kayak,\" he explains. Adds Weber: \"We'll have the kayaks so filled with plastic that we'll end up just having to tow the kayaks — we'll have to swim (them) to shore.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are sharks in the water there, but Savoca says that wasn't the real threat. \"When we were out there,\" he says, \"We'd hear, 'plink, plink,' and we'd look up on the hill and there'd be golf balls flying in off the course right into the ocean where we were doing collections.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the aerial barrage, they kept at it, says Weber. \"Whenever we had good conditions, we were able to pull out between, like, 500 to 5,000 golf balls,\" she says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over two years, they found more than 50,000 golf balls. The source: five golf courses. Two along the coastline, and three up the Carmel River — those golf balls rolled underwater down the river to the ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the journal \u003cem>Marine Pollution Bulletin,\u003c/em> the team notes that golf balls are coated with a thin polyurethane shell that degrades over time. They also contain zinc compounds that are toxic. Savoca points out that the surf and currents act like a rock grinder and break down the golf balls. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While chemicals from 50,000 or so golf balls will have only a small effect on the ocean, Savoca says they do degrade into \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/08/20/636845604/beer-drinking-water-and-fish-tiny-plastic-is-everywhere\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">microplastic pieces\u003c/a> that marine animals could eat. The team also notes that there are lots of coastal golf courses around the world, so this may go beyond California. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alex Weber, now 18 and a published author in a scientific journal, plans to apply to university to study marine science. In the meantime, she is still collecting, and keeping up her\u003ca href=\"https://www.theplasticpick-up.org\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> website\u003c/a>.

She was diving in a small cove and looked down and saw something weird. \"You couldn't see the sand,\" she recalls, still sounding incredulous. \"It was completely white.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White with golf balls. \"You looked down and you're like, 'What are you doing here?' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were thousands of them. \"It felt like a shot to the heart,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was offended. Right then, she decided to haul them up. Thus began a Sisyphean task that went on for months: She and her father would haul hundreds of pounds of them up, and then of course more golfers would hit more into the ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She took what she and her father collected back home. \"I had all of these golf balls in the garage,\" she says. \"And they stank.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then she heard about a Stanford University scientist, \u003ca href=\"https://matthewsavocaecology.weebly.com/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Matt Savoca\u003c/a>, who studied plastic waste in the ocean. She emailed him, and he came to look at her collection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Fifty thousand golf balls, just sitting in the garage,\" she says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Savoca was impressed. Weber recalls that he turned to her and said, \" 'You should write a paper about this,' and I was like, 'Matt, I'm 16 years old. I don't know how to write a scientific paper!' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he would help, which meant diving with her. Not easy. \"The oceans off California are actually quite cold, so you suit up in a pretty thick wetsuit,\" he says. \"It's incredibly physically demanding.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They took kayaks out to ferry the golf balls back. \"Once you recover many, many golf balls, you put them on the kayak,\" he explains. Adds Weber: \"We'll have the kayaks so filled with plastic that we'll end up just having to tow the kayaks — we'll have to swim (them) to shore.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are sharks in the water there, but Savoca says that wasn't the real threat. \"When we were out there,\" he says, \"We'd hear, 'plink, plink,' and we'd look up on the hill and there'd be golf balls flying in off the course right into the ocean where we were doing collections.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the aerial barrage, they kept at it, says Weber. \"Whenever we had good conditions, we were able to pull out between, like, 500 to 5,000 golf balls,\" she says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over two years, they found more than 50,000 golf balls. The source: five golf courses. Two along the coastline, and three up the Carmel River — those golf balls rolled underwater down the river to the ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the journal \u003cem>Marine Pollution Bulletin,\u003c/em> the team notes that golf balls are coated with a thin polyurethane shell that degrades over time. They also contain zinc compounds that are toxic. Savoca points out that the surf and currents act like a rock grinder and break down the golf balls. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While chemicals from 50,000 or so golf balls will have only a small effect on the ocean, Savoca says they do degrade into \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/08/20/636845604/beer-drinking-water-and-fish-tiny-plastic-is-everywhere\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">microplastic pieces\u003c/a> that marine animals could eat. The team also notes that there are lots of coastal golf courses around the world, so this may go beyond California. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alex Weber, now 18 and a published author in a scientific journal, plans to apply to university to study marine science. In the meantime, she is still collecting, and keeping up her\u003ca href=\"https://www.theplasticpick-up.org\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> website\u003c/a>. She says it is too bad the golf balls sink. If they floated, people would be shocked and outraged. \"If a person could see what we see underwater,\" she says, \"it would not be acceptable.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11719715/teenage-diver-finds-tons-of-golf-balls-rotting-off-california","authors":["byline_news_11719715"],"programs":["news_72"],"categories":["news_19906","news_8","news_356","news_10"],"tags":["news_23861","news_24849","news_483","news_5891"],"featImg":"news_11719717","label":"source_news_11719715"}},"programsReducer":{"possible":{"id":"possible","title":"Possible","info":"Possible is hosted by entrepreneur Reid Hoffman and writer Aria Finger.
