Over the course of 48 days, an expedition to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch managed to haul an astonishing 103 tons of plastic from the ocean. The mission was run by Ocean Voyages Institute, a non-profit founded in 1979 to help preserve the world’s oceans. Incredibly, for as impressive as their recovery efforts are, it’s just a drop in the bucket compared to what’s still left behind.
