The other day, researchers at the Mariana Trench published in a journal Marine Policy is an unfortunate and at the same time surprising fact – on a plastic bag was discovered at the bottom of this deepest gutter, which sank 10,994 meters – just fantastic!
As experts say with regret, this is more than a fact illustrates humanity the degree of pollution of the world the ocean. By the way, studies of sea secrets over the past three decades discovered at the deepest points of the oceans several thousand units of unsightly garbage that produced man, and drivers and deep-sea vehicles descending here during this time about 5 thousand times we were surprised to note how some garbage artifacts can generally fall into the sea.
Unfortunately, in recent decades, most often deep-sea garbage is represented precisely by plastic, and in particular by polyethylene packages that are literally deeper than 6000 meters prevail even among other things plastic.
In second place is metal debris, which approximately a quarter of the total deep sea dump. TO in addition, as scientists note, in many cases (at least 17 percent) near the marine debris deep-sea “spun” animals. All this raises the fear that such pollution can disrupt the deep-sea ecosystem, and the consequences of this so far not clear to anyone …
