Yeah, and the relative harm between microplastics and heavy chunks of garbage is also off the charts. A big chunk of stuff floating around in the open ocean can actually become a habitat for all kinds of creatures, whereas small bits of plastic are basically poison.



Don’t those large chunks contribute to the micro plastic problem though, as UV rays and water movement break up the particles? Genuine question.
