I’m Captain Charles Moore,
coming to you from the North Pacific Ocean
on the first plastic island
ever discovered floating in the Pacific.
Below me right now is a fish mausoleum
with dead fish that have been caught by the
nets that have been trapped here.
Survey,
less then one hour.
Sure enough, you got a toothbrush.
This could have been a toothbrush that I used,
ten years ago
and has been floating around in a circle
in the Gyre for that amount of time.
So, the point is that this is a world wide
phenomenon.
The oceans are all connected.
There is truly only one world ocean.
Everywhere in it, we are seeing the same phenomenon.
An accumulation of our plastic trash.
