We also expect that it will help to shift the focus of future research towards the critical processes taking place in the Antarctic Gyres, rather than the historical focus on the shelf-sea regions'

Due to its low density, plastic waste is readily transported long distances from source areas and concentrates in gyres, systems of rotating ocean currents.

There are five ocean gyres in the world where plastic concentrates.

The amount of trash and pollution has damaged our marine ecosystem and the number of gyres and dead zones has increased.

Perhaps the most noticeable features on our oceanic road map are the gigantic gyres circulating in each major basin.

Wind and water currents arranged in large circular gyres move materials across vast oceans.

They discovered that the bio-optical characteristics of the world's oceans could be classified into three distinct geographical areas: subtropical gyres of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans; the Black Sea [which has particularly high levels of colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM)]; and a number of high-latitude and temperate seas, including the North Atlantic and Southern Oceans and Norwegian and Mediterranean Seas.

Carlsbad, CA, May 31, 2017 --(PR.com)-- 5 Gyres is partnering with Forward Reality, as an advisor on a Virtual Reality (VR) project to educate people about the serious issue of plastic pollution in our oceans.

Barry Liss provides a discussion on aesthetic creativity in his article titled In Defense of the Athenian Way: Neil Postman and Eric Hoffers' Arguments Regarding Aesthetic Creativity; and Janelle Wilson's essay titled Peripheral Vision: Re-Imagining Marginality explores the "conceptual playground we find ourselves on when we consider the various meanings and dimensions of marginality." English professor Stan Kozikowski laments the "lowest common denominator" of our English language in his essay titled Oceanic Gyres, Grammatical Gyres: What We Do Not Know That Has Hurt Us, and Tim Lyons tackles the topic of fragmentation through language use in his essay Astrology, Divination, And General Semantics: A Critique Of Postman (And Others) Along With Some Intimations About The Unus Mundus.

In less than nine years there will be one ton of plastic for every three tons of ocean fish, according to the 5 Gyres Institute, a nonprofit research organization dedicated to design and policy change.
