According to Noah, this is a regular occurrence - particularly on trips outside the main Hawaiian Islands and in the zone between 30 degrees and the equator where there is a convergence of currents that encourages coagulation of the stuff. The marine debris story is significant and I thought this incident might serve as illustration. It's the subject matter that interests me most. I'm easily excited by anything having to do with the ocean and this project has afforded me experiences that solidify that connection. All rights reserved.
