The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a garbage patch, a gyre of marine debris particles, in the central North Pacific Ocean. It is located roughly from 135Β°W to 155Β°W and 35Β°N to 42Β°N. The collection of plastic and floating trash originates from the Pacific Rim, including countries in Asia, North America, and South America.
Poly- and Perfluoroalkyl Substances in Seawater and Plankton from the Northwestern Atlantic Margin
Abstract. The ocean is thought to be the terminal sink for poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that have been produced and released in large quantit
Plastic Recycling Is a Problem Consumers Can't Solve
Even if you put everything into the right blue bins, a lot of plastics will end up in landfills and the ocean. Consumers can't solve this problem.
All my trash for a year fit into two plastic bags. Hereβs how I did it.
Giving up plastic forks, new clothes and even toilet paper for an exercise in conservation.

Whale Baleen To Monitor Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Marine Environments
Abstract. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) comprise >10β―000 synthetic compounds that are globally distributed and highly persistent but remain
Pacific kelp forests are far older than we thought - Berkeley News
The unique underwater kelp forests that line the Pacific Coast support a varied ecosystem that was thought to have evolved along with the kelp over the past 14 million years. But a new study shows that kelp flourished off the Northwest Coast more than 32 million years ago, long before the appearance of modern groups [β¦]
