26 August 2010 — This is a very short video showing how easily plastic bits can be mistaken for zooplankton by marine mammals and fish. It is quite astounding. This video was put together by 5gyres.org and the water sample was taken from the North Atlantic plastic gyre… Did you know five of those plastic gyres have now been discovered. Yikes!

Plastic, or food? from 5 Gyres on Vimeo.

Check out 5gyres.org. An organization worth supporting!
