Our professional cleanup crews in Haiti have been tracking this huge ocean trash gyre lately!⠀
⠀
Gyres are formed from the stirring motion of ocean currents. Gyres off Haiti's coastlines like this are typical during the rainy season when torrential downpours sweep land-based trash into rivers that carry it into the ocean. ⠀
⠀
Our crews worked tirelessly to collect as much trash as possible from the floating gyre that day, but also made sure to track the gyre to the island of La Gonâve, which is located northwest of our base in Port-au-Prince. ⠀
⠀
Once there, our cleanup crews were able to recover thousands of pounds of plastic that had accumulated on the island’s coastlines.⠀
