    Eco—mermaid swims for 12 hours to break record

    On May 7, Merle Liivand broke her own world record for swimming with a single fin(然) in Florida. The"Eco—mermaid"(生态美人鱼) picked rubbish out of water when she swam. A few years ago, Merle moved to Miami, Florida. Once she nearly had some plastic(塑料) while swimming in the sea. She felt that as an open water swimmer, she should be doing more for the ocean rather than just swimming in it.
