The world's rubbish dump: a garbage tip that stretches from Hawaii to Japan

A "plastic soup" of waste floating in the Pacific Ocean is growing at an alarming rate and now covers an area twice the size of the continental United States, scientists have said.

 The vast expanse of debris – in effect the world's largest rubbish dump – is held in place by swirling underwater currents. This drifting "soup" stretches from about 500 nautical miles off the Californian coast, across the northern Pacific, past Hawaii and almost as far as Japan

Ocean Surface Current Simulator (OSCURS) model developed by W James Ingraham Jr.,

an oceanographer at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

predicts the trajectory of drift originating along the coasts of the North Pacific rim.

Drift from Japan is shown in red; drift from the United States, in blue.

The diagrams show the position of drift after 183 days (left), three years (center), and ten years (right).

 Are There Really Continents of Floating Garbage? blog
But if there are massive islands of junk out there, why doesn’t everyone already know about it, and why are we doing something about it? Well, there are several reasons. First, no one is keen to claim responsibility for these monstrosities, which exists in one of the most remote spots on the planet. It’s easy to ignore than deal with, at least in the short term. Clean up is nearly impossible at this point, so many have adopted the famous ostrich saying of burying their heads in the sand. Even so, this polluted, chemical filled junk is finding it’s way onto our dinner tables. 

Sadly, marine researcher Charles Moore at the Algalita Marina Research Foundation in Long Beach says there’s no practical fix for the problem. He has been studying the massive patch for the past 10 years, and said the debris is to the point where it would be nearly impossible to extract. ..
