What questions do you have about this picture?The researchers say the density of trash was the highest recorded anywhere in the world, despite Henderson Island's extreme remoteness. The island is located about halfway between New Zealand and Chile and is recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site. Lavers said Henderson Island is at the edge of a vortex of ocean currents known as the South Pacific gyre, which tends to capture and hold floating trash."The quantity of plastic there is truly alarming," Lavers told The Associated Press. "It's both beautiful and terrifying." She said she sometimes found herself getting mesmerized by the variety and colours of the plastic that litters the island before the tragedy of it would sink in again. Lavers and six others stayed on the island for 3 1/2 months in 2015 while conducting the study. They found the trash weighed an estimated 17.6 tons and that more than two-thirds of it was buried in shallow sediment on the beaches. Lavers said she noticed green toy soldiers that looked identical to those her brother played with as a child in the early 1980s, as well as red motels from the Monopoly board game. http://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/scientists-find-38-million-pieces-of-trash-on-pacific-island-1.3415382 |
