Project Kaisei team talks trash

Trash found floating in the ocean by Project Kaisei (photo by PK)
Jean-Michel Cousteau, son of the famed oceanographer Jacques Cousteau speaking at a press conference Tuesday,

Cousteau was joined by Project Kaisei founders, scientists, environmentalists and ocean lovers who spent a month in the middle of the ocean at a place called the North Pacific Gyre where tons of plastic trash has collected, and is floating in the sea.  

One day back from the sea
"We traveled thousands of miles on both vessels and we tested surface samples across that whole distance.  Every single sample we came up with plastic, every single one."
Lawn chairs, fishing net, containers and a helmet floating in the ocean
An example of what they found was spread out in front of the audience; ghost fishing nets, chunks of plastic lawn furniture, crates, large containers, a helmet. 
Jar with tiny plastic pieces
This is the stuff they found in every sample of water taken.
we found a myriad of types of garbage.  In some of the areas that weren't so congested, maybe we'd see 25 pieces but in other areas we would see three to four hundred pieces of marine debris
