[–] oska 11y ago ↗ "The planet's five ocean gyres and the risks of accumulated plastic pollution"Quite florid writing but the map of the planet's ocean gyres is beautifully done.

[–] henryw 11y ago ↗ One takeaway point that I got:Plastics, degraded to fine grains in the ocean, are consumed by as much as 50% of salt-water fish. Humans who eat the fish are suspected to experience the negative side effects of higher estrogen levels induced by the plastics.https://d262ilb51hltx0.cloudfront.net/max/955/1*sdiSfUh0sAkP...
