Once thought to be of limitless capacity, the ocean is filling up with garbage, most of it plastic.
Every square mile of ocean contains 50 000 pieces of trash
and 1 000 miles north of Hawaii there is a floating layer of debris the size of the continental United States.

Reminds me of the work of Chris Jordan > Midway

These photographs of albatross chicks were made in September, 2009, on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand and coral near the middle of the North Pacific. The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking.

These images depict the actual stomach contents of baby birds in one of the world’s most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent.
