    The irony is that in an open ocean where you have nothing to cling on, these garbage patches give the sea life a place to hold on to.

  2. Glenn E says:

    #21- I agree with that idea. An artifical floating reef, of sorts. I maybe just crazy enough to work. Especially as it was unplanned. Now it’s those planned artifical reefs that are the real disgrace. They dumped tons of old car tires, off shore. With some lame excuse that they would create an artifical reef for sea life. But the tires were too bouyant in sea water, and get moved around by wave action. So they only manage to destroy any naturally occuring reef coral. No word about any plans to remove those tires from the sea bottom. Somebody should at least get fired for that blunder.

  5. I’m not surprised at all. These kind of things are rather normal now for us. It is something that all companies do nowadays and that authorities sit and do nothing. This is the world we are living in.
