Snail Collected in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch
Violet pelagic snail (Janitha janitha) and encrusting bryozoans on a piece of black plastic collected in the Pacific Garbage Patch. This snail usually creates a floating mass of bubbles which it uses to drift through the oceans, feeding on other drifters like by-the-wind sailors (Vellela sp) and Portuguese man o' wars (Physalia sp).
The MY Arctic Sunrise is currently in a voyage into the Great Pacific Garbage Patch to document plastics and other marine debris. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a soupy mix of plastics and microplastics, now twice the size of Texas, in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean.
