Floating ocean debris, like plastic and ghost gear, creates an unintended habitat in the open ocean that collects both marine life and invasive species.
Floating plastic habitats, ghost gear, and plastic rafting are breaking oceanic boundaries, and automated cleanup will not solve the problem. Ocean/coastal cleanup debris must be examined and removed without damage to the environment or marine life. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #Research #OceanCleanup
