The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

Most descriptions of a patch of garbage the size of Texas somewhere out there in the pacific ocean are merely trying to put into perspective the mass of garbage actually bigger than the size of Texas (and growing) that collects where the ocean currents and jet streams cross and meet out there in the ocean.

This problem affects mankind in many ways from the fish and seafood we eat to the health of the ocean eco system and earth itself.

More disturbing still is the fact is that there is no known way to clean this up. Besides the expensive monetary cost any operation would be to clean it, there is no known viable way to clean it all up due to the shear mass of it and the way it is spread out all over wide and deep in the oceans. Below the pictures are links to some pictures and articles on the subject and organizations/efforts trying to deal with this problem.

SURFLOOK.COM

Coming in the future to surflook.com:
Surflook.com has its eye on new technology that could revolutionize surf reporting. Reporting could model exactly how, when, and what part of the beach a set of waves will break. Whether or not the patenting experience on other technologies will be put into effect will be considered as well as the desire not to overcrowd the surf breaks or spoil the fun of just plain old fashioned checking the surf at the beach will be considered.
Upload your pictures and share them. Pictures picked as the best of the month will be displayed on the homepage. Share your surf pictures, create ecards and post cards with them and more.
