Fishers and environmentalists world wide report that human trash, especially plastics, are apparent in all regions of the world's oceans and seas. This depiction of the Pacific Ocean shows the flow that is typical and our heaviest deposits of waste and plastic are afloat in the Pacific Convergence Zone...generally above Hawaii... and the Hawaiian Islands bear proof of this with trash heaped on many of those once pristine beach heads.
The plastic trash recovered accounts for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of fish and aquatic life, as well as birds and reptiles (tortoises). The disaster is based on the human perception that the oceans will clean themselves...and perhaps they will, if we stop now and give them tens of thousands of years to do it.
Here is a collection of what is found covering miles of Hawaiian beaches on all of the islands.
