This video shows how the Pacific Ocean has a great amount of trash floating many miles from shore. It provides a good lesson for students on the importance of recycling and the damage floating trash does to animals. The video could also be used as a ...career lesson for those interested in marine life. This can be very impacting and may be bothersome to some students who are especially sensitive about animals and/or the environment. (03:50)

For years we've been reading about a patch of garbage the size of Texas floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, ingeniously dubbed the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Basically, any trash that gets dumped in the water rides the currents to this one... spot and joins an ever-increasing flotilla of garbage. For all the breathless accounts of the mess and its impact on the area's sealife, however, no one seemed to have a picture of the buildup.
In order to sate our own curiosity, VBS joined the crew of a research vessel studying the trash and sailed out into one of the most remote spots of open water in the world, the North Pacific Gyre, in search of this mythical garbage island. What we discovered once we got there was an ecological disaster beyond any of our expectations and possibly the single worst thing human beings have done to the planet and ourselves.

Many of the images show animals of the ocean habitat in d...istress (for instance, a turtle that ingested plastic bags).
