I think this is really an interesting thing because I have seen so many people are associated with that. I think this is one of the best thing to discuss. Anyways keep it up and keep continue with your valuable thoughts.

Thanks for the great article! I thought the great garbage patch was mostly solid pieces of plastic. At least the media seems to infer as much. Still a big problem, but nice to know the truth. Thanks for clarifying this.

I’d heard that albatross feed their young bits of the plastic. They grow up and eventually die filled with plastic rubbish. It’s horrible.

Horrible. How did this build up? Must be the changing sea current but in an area where there’s no island or civilization near, it’s a puzzle as to how this got into this mess.

It is seriously disgusting at how some people treat the one and only habitat we have. The plastic also breaks down naturally due to friction as the waves pound them. It turns into microscopic balls which then end up being swallowed by fish which feed on plankton, which are then eaten by bigger predator fish which then end up on your dinner plate. Nice!

This is a tragedy, At Coastal Carolina University I attended a seminar on marine life that talked alot about this problem and ways to combat it.
