5 Gyres - Understanding Plastic Pollution Through Exploration, Education, and Action

Photo collage of marine debris washed onshore at Rincon Point, CA

Stiv and I (of 5 Gyres) are driving along the US West Coast to present findings from the N. Atlantic Gyre expedition and interview key stakeholders in the marine debris issue. We are stopping at beaches along the way from San Diego, CA to Tofino, BC to photo-document marine debris from shore, conduct beach transects and collect nurdles for International Pellet Watch. Above and below are two images of plastic trash we found and collected at Rincon Beach.
