Tara, Mermaid’s tears<\/strong>, 2018<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

On the scientific schooner Tara, researchers spent three weeks taking samples from the \u201cplastic continent\u201c between Honolulu (Hawaii) and California. Their purpose: to unravel the mystery of plastic waste decomposition in oceans. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP), the \u201csoup\u201c of micro plastics of the North Pacific Gyre, is one of the oldest of the five ocean gyres, these areas where marine currents circularly trap wastes, all coming from the land and human activity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Human species, that reject every year 8 million of plastics into the sea, poisons the ocean, but also the entire food chains (fish and therefore human beings themselves). This phenomenon dates back to the popularization of single-use plastic in the 1950\u2019s. Derived from oil, it facilitated daily life but it became a monster that we gave lost control of.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Household waste, fishing nets, \\u201cmermaids\\u2019 tears\\u201d or microbeads used in industry, and, in particular, single-use plastic packaging that serves a purpose for only a fleeting moment and will then contaminate the oceans for centuries. Since the invention of plastic, a total of 8.3 billion tons has been manufactured, and it has not broken down, it is still there. In the North Pacific Ocean, between Hawaii and California, is the largest of the world\\u2019s six masses of floating ocean plastic. It is difficult to find any spot on earth today without traces of plastic. Endocrine disruptors, often found in plastics, have been reported to cause a decline in male fertility, reducing sperm counts by up to 75%. Environments that have evolved to live with plastic are now recognized as a separate ecosystem which scientists have dubbed the \\u201cplastisphere.\\u201d Here is contamination that can never be removed.
