Ocean plastic is likely disappearing into the food chain

A landmark study out today finds huge quantities of plastic are entering the ocean. Since much of it isn’t accounted for, says Andreas Merkl, we should be concerned about where it’s ending up Filipino volunteers pick rubbish during the 29th International Coastal Cleanup at the shore of the 'Long island' in Paranaque city, south of Manila. A new study indicates that the plastic problem might be bigger than we ever thought.



When I tell people that we have a problem with too much plastic in our oceans, many invariably say how shocked they were when they heard about vast swirling islands of trash that accumulate in the oceans’ gyres.
I wish this was the full extent of the problem. It is not.
