I don't profess to be an expert on marine biology or even marine ANYTHING, but I distinctly remember reading somewhere this morning that plastic granules outnumber plankton 6 to 1 in the plastic soup.
If it is providing a habitat for wildlife, it's not a safe one for them or for us, because the wildlife is ingesting the ground up plastic, and the toxins that it has attracted and concentrated. Then all of a sudden it's in the food chain-the food chain that WE are at the end of. I don't mean to be a gloomy gus, but it seems like we've shot ourselves in the foot with this one.
