Understanding the Nature of Plastic Accumulation
By Editor On August 02, 2010

Since the mid 70's SEA Education Association has been sampling plastics from the North Atlantic, the 10th of June they set sailed again. SEA is an educational institution dedicated to exploration, understanding and stewardship of the oceans, and to the study of humanity's relationship with the oceans.

During the 34 days at sea they traveled over 3800 nautical miles and gathered more than 48 000 pieces of plastic. The plastic samples are now taken back to their lab to be analyzed, and the results will give us further understanding about the plastic patches in the oceans.
