    If this so-called Great Pacific Garbage Patch truly exists and is as large as claimed, then why aren’t there any photos of it and why haven’t people visited it…?

      Its an “island” that starts approx. 10meters below the surface of the sea and reaches about 30meters depth. In this ~20m thick carpet has a density of 5kg/km² which seems very little to be talking of an island, but it is a very hostile place for life and, considering the affected area runs from the japanese coast almost up to california, its a real threat to many species.
