"Ocean cleanup crews have fished out the most trash ever taken from one of the
largest garbage patches in the world.
The Ocean Cleanup, a nonprofit environmental engineering organization, saw its
largest extraction earlier this month by removing about 25,000 pounds of trash
from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Alex Tobin, head of public relations and
media for the organization, told
ABC News.
The vessels are currently on the way back to port in Victoria, British
Columbia, after having collected about 50 tons of garbage in four weeks, Tobin
said.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an enormous pile of floating trash carried by
ocean currents and winds to the Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and California, is
the largest of the world's five ocean garbage patches."
