The Trash Trail: Why is there so much plastic in the ocean?
Brains On! Science podcast for kids
Brain Zon: A Mystery Sound
The purpose of the garbage patch isn't really one patch at all. It's two patches connected by a big current system called a gyre. Most of the plastic has been broken down into teeny tiny pieces, like little pepper flakes floating in the stew with some big chunks here and there. Brain Zon is a non-profit public radio program. There are lots of ways to support the show, head to BrainZon.org. You can also subscribe to our Smarty Pass.
