Industrialised Fishing Nations largely Contribute to Floating Plastic Pollution in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

Biodiversity Conservation, Waste Management and Pollution Control

Available Online

Lebreton, Laurent

Peytavin, Axel

Royer, Sarah-Jeanne

et al

The subtropical oceanic gyre in the North Pacific Ocean is currently covered with tens of thousands of tonnes of floating plastic debris, dispersed over millions of square kilometres. A large fraction is composed of fishing nets and ropes while the rest is mostly composed of hard plastic-objects and fragments, sometimes carrying evidence on their origin.
