Some of us have heard about the huge amount of garbage collecting in the the Pacific Ocean about 1,000 miles off the California coastline, but I think this fact has somehow not made an impact, this garbage is not “just floating on top” of the ocean’s surface, it is becoming part of the ocean’s waters and all marine life, eventually being ingested by predators feeding off the marine life. Plastic molecules and toxins are being found in the tissues of ocean fish which are starting to contaminate humans eating those fish. Maybe it’s time we took this into consideration.
