Le Capitaine Charles Moore de la Fondation de Recherche Marine Algalita  a d'abord découvert la Plaque de Déchets du Pacifique Nord -- des déchets plastiques qui flottaient à perte de vue. A présent il attire notre attention sur le problème croissant et étouffant des déchets plastiques dans nos mers.

Charles Moore parle des mers de plastique

Vast amounts of plastic, from bottles to caps, now pollute even the most remote ocean regions. Less than five percent of plastic waste gets recycled, leaving most to break down into toxic fragments that invade marine food chains. Seabirds and fish are dying with bellies full of plastic, while entire patches of ocean now hold more plastic than plankton. This growing crisis cannot be cleaned up at sea and demands urgent action at its source.
