If it was happening in one gyre, they suspected
it was happening in all of them. But the filmmakers needed experts to prove it. Scientists were brought in at each stage to analyze the findings
from one part of the story to add their data to the overall report on the five
gyres. In the center of the Pacific Ocean gyre our researchers found more
plastic than plankton. A Plastic Ocean documents the newest
science, proving how plastics, once they enter the oceans, break up into small
particulates that enter the food chain where they attract toxins like a magnet.
These toxins are stored in seafood’s fatty tissues, and eventually consumed by
us.
