But that might not stop the federal government from trying. The Garbage Patch is not a solid island, as some people believe, Moore said. Instead, it resembles a soupy mass, interspersed with large pieces of junk such as derelict fishing nets and waterlogged tires - "an alphabet soup," he called it. flag hollyg 4 months ago 1 response Strangely beautiful.
