Hitched a Ride: Coastal Organisms on a Junk Island in the Ocean

Coastal organisms hit the headline. Coastal creatures are using this junk island as a vehicle. It's not their vehicle but it's as if they are hitching a ride on it. Headlines often leave out the a. Yeah, so you might know the word hitch from hitch hike. If you hitch hike you stand on the side of the road with your thumb up and you ask to travel in a stranger's car or van for free. You can also use hitch a ride if you travel with a friend for free.
