Thanks..., ...and this is a great illustration of an example what we are facing on this planet. Looking at that dense plastic stew, one might wonder how fishes can breathe through this stuff at all. Obviously they don't, they just choke or get their digestive systems full of it and die. Dead zones the size of Texas? This is 100% ecological abuse. God speed your Love Greenpeace
