Given Midway's location and the fact that it has been illegal to dump plastic from U.S. ships for over 20 years, I'd venture that 99.9% of that stuff is from non-U.S. sources.

It all adds up

Not just tossed from boats, but terrestrial sources also.

All that crap thrown into seaside city streets washes down storm drains or into runoff that goes straight into the ocean. And the currents distribute it all over the globe.

It all ads up, whether you can see the results of your selfish, careless or accidental littering or not.

Don't treat the sea like your own personal $hit hole- Don't treat the land like your own personal $hite hole.

Earth isn't a 1 time use product.

Absolutely. In one of the articles I read, they estimated that only 20% of the garbage in the ocean actually comes from vessels.

I wish that were true, but sadly it's not. Woody hit the nail on the head. Much of this stuff mixes with stormwater and finds its way into storm drains, then into rivers, and eventually into the Oceans. Did you see all the cigarrette lighters, bottle caps, etc.? That is litter from land-based human activities, and a good amount of it is coming from the US of A. We need to change people's attitudes and behaviors if we want to make any dent in the severe marine debris problem.

on a smaller note, it would be nice just see the jacka**es that fish the canal pick up their dd cups, cig. butts, beer cans, bait bags, and 1000000000000000 yards of line that snaps off their reels!

You left out the packaging for soft-body swimmers.

Unfortuantely, there is always more trash the next time. I don't get what people think when they discard trash like that.
