The average person riding in a boat - large or small is NOT going to give a flying, fickle finger of fate about whether a plastic store bag is SECURED or NOT. So, the wind blows it off into the ocean or lake. And that happens often enough to cause serious environmental degradation. A year or 2 ago people were volunteering to take their boat out into the Gulf to help clear an area about a mile wide of plastic and plastic bags had formed - due to some wind and tide and wave conditions.
