Tons of Marine Debris are Collected Annually from Northwestern Hawaiian Islands

"What surprises us is that after many years of marine debris removal in Papahânaumokuâkea and more than 700 metric tons of debris later, we are still collecting a significant amount of derelict fishing gear from the shallow coral reefs and shorelines," [...] "The ship was at maximum capacity and we did not have any space for more debris." - quotes from article from Hawaii News Now.
