SEASON OF THE TRASH

By VBS Staff

Just as our old boat-buddy the ORV Alguita is getting back from another fruitful trip to the Pacific Garbage Patch, it looks like the Scripps Institute is the first major oceanographic research team to take the hint and send a couple of giant science-ships into the placid, plastic-choked waters of the Gyre. So far all they’ve managed to net is a couple awesome-looking squids, but they’re only a few days off the coast. You just give them a little time and I’m sure they’ll get this whole thing worked out. Unless the North Koreans accidentally take them out.
