This is just prejudice mixed with ridiculousness. Yes covering head to toe seems weird based on western culture. But it doesn't hurt anything at all, there are certainly no hygiene issues. Do these people know what's in the ocean? Everything, that's what, you name it, it's in there. A bit of cloth isn't going to affect the ocean .00000000000001%.

Except... That's not how the ocean works? There are localized effects to pollution. You can test this by spilling oil in your nearest ocean. Watch how it disperses, and watch how it doesn't actually disperse that far away from you because of currents and whatnot.

Not justifying the OP, but your statement is really inaccurate.

Okay, but I'm telling the authorities it was your idea.
