Moore, who works at the Long Beach based Algalita Marina Research Foundation, has been studying the stew of plastic and marine debris floating in the ocean. Moore has since discovered a second similar garbage patch in the South Pacific.

Scientists on a recent six month expedition have discovered the presence of a second garbage patch in the South Pacific, and are saying that the plastic vortex could be bigger than the state of Texas. Charles Moore set sail with a group of volunteer researchers in November 2. Chile. It was during their research that the team discovered the large amount of plastic floating in the South Pacific, measuring an estimated million square kilometers, or 1. Texas. OCEAN CLEANUP A controversial plan to trap plastic floating in the great Pacific garbage patch. The plastic is gathered and trapped in one of the known gyres in the ocean these are areas with circulating ocean currents and it is difficult to remove the bits of plastic due to its size. Rather than the plastic trash that most would think of, such as six pack soda rings or plastic bags, instead the plastic found in this part of the ocean are apparently smaller than grains of rice, Research. Gate reported. We found a few larger items, occasionally a buoy and some fishing gear, but most of it was broken into bits, Moore told the publication. He guessed that there are millions of plastic particles per square kilometer in this newly discovered patch. Story continues below.
