I see what you mean.

Thank fully the beaches such as Lunan Bay near where I sometimes do my sea fishing are reasonably clean and free of such plastic pollution.

I've been hearing about some bad news about the Pacific Ocean recently, such as dying seals due to radiation in Alaska (Fukishima Catastrophe Fallout?) and I have even heard that Pacific Mackerel have become almost impossible to find. I don't know how true this is though but considering the Midway plastic pollution disaster it may have some credibility.
