#TrashTalkTuesdays it is estimated that there are 5.25 trillion pieces of floating plastic in the oceans throughout the world. 👎 But what about the plastic trash we can’t see on the surface? @noaa has been conducting deep water explorations for the past few months and have found marine debris in some of the deepest parts of Mariana’s Trench at Sirena Deep - 5,000 meters below the ocean surface. They have came across items such as plastic bags, containers, and have discovered that small crustaceans that live in the trenches were found to be contaminated with 50x more toxic chemicals than crabs found living in heavily polluted rivers in China.
