New Plastic Garbage Patch Discovered in the Atlantic Ocean

Researchers discovered a 2nd swirling vortex of plastic debris, this time in the Atlantic Ocean. This patch isn't as noticeable as the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch (between Hawaii and California). But within this vortex of currents lies a plague of micro plastic particles forming a toxic soup that can be extremely harmful to fish, birds, and marine mammals.

This video shows 1 dolphin in the Pacific shallows with a plastic bag.

Anyone notice there is not a SINGLE photo of this supposed patch the size of Texas. They show shore photos, one of a canoe paddling through trash in Asia and lots of animals. But there is not one single photo of a mass of garbage, other than one small patch of fishing nets about 12ft by 4ft on the ocean surface. I know there is rubbish out there but this con has caught a huge group of gullible people.
