Second windrow – even more plastic

Today at around 15:00 hours, just an hour after we went for a swim, we came across another windrow and this one was even worst then the first one. Plastic was everywhere and in everything. We could only pick up few larger pieces and take photos and videos but it was really sad looking at all that mess we have created.

Unfortunately, I don’t have enough photos of all that at this moment cause I was operating the camera so the footage is coming.

One thing I noticed in this windrow that I don’t remember seeing in the first one was millions of small tiny pieces suspended right below the surface, stretching for miles and miles. I wonder: how deep does it go and what is really made of? One can safely assume that some of that must be organic and can only hope that it is not plastic. However, all those large pieces that we picked up would eventually break down in to smaller polymers if left in the ocean, right?
