A misunderstanding persists that there are floating islands of plastic in the oceans, says Abbing, and the few people who sail the seas come across one now and then, but understanding scope of the problem requires investigating what is floating on the surface, drifting around in the water column, and lying on the sea-bed. He covers plastic fantastic, floating plastic, from soup to broth, RIP: rest in plastic, a planetful of plastic, art, between belief and hope, inspirational initiatives, no time to lose, and turning the tide.
