Styrofoam glazed Mile Rock Beach in San Francisco

Today my friend and I went for a walk down to Mile Rock Beach at Land’s End in San Francisco and discovered that Styrofoam is pretty much part of the landscape now. Wherever I looked I saw Styrofoam tiny pieces stuck in between and under the rocks, in the sand and under various bushes and branches that are found on the beach. I have visually examined couple of areas and found that there were at list 2-3 visible pieces for every square inch. I only found few larger pieces and that is because Styrofoam is very easily broken down by the elements. I wonder how much of it is around that we can’t even see with our naked eye and where are we heading with all this?
