Project Kaisei - Persistent Organic Pollutants POPs - The Garbage Patch - Scripps Oceanography

http://www.DiveIntoYourImagination.com/news/the-garbage-patch SEAPLEX scientist Chelsea Rochman talks about the impacts plastics have on the ocean from the point of view of chemicals and pollutants. She specifically talks about Persistent Organic Pollutants, how they accumulate up the food chain, and how they affect us. The SEAPLEX cruise from Scripps and Kaisei were two expeditions. Project Kaisei helped fund two expeditions out to the garbage patch to find solutions to the growing plastic problem facing the Ocean.
