I noticed this wrack pile full of microplastics during an exercise walk in December 2017 at the foot of the Vilano bridge.\u00a0 Probably deposited there during the storms last fall.\u00a0 It’s a reminder to me how much plastic is in the ocean that the general public doesn’t know about.\u00a0 These wrack lines full of plastic are in constant movements from the ever changing tides.\u00a0 It’s slowly getting noticed by many concerned citizens and biologist.\u00a0 This isn’t just irresponsible littering. This is a result of decades of massive amounts of plastic use.\u00a0 The plastic at this site has been in the environment for years. It is\u00a0 broken down to those small pieces by the sun’s uv rays and wave action. It circles around in the North Atlantic Gyre until deposited in a capturing area during high tides and storms.\u00a0 Click here for additional photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I noticed this wrack pile full of microplastics during an exercise walk in December 2017 at the foot of the Vilano bridge.\u00a0 Probably deposited there during the storms last fall.\u00a0 It’s a reminder to me how much plastic is in the ocean that the general public doesn’t know about.\u00a0 These wrack lines full of plastic Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-microplastics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/ocean.priester.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/ocean.priester.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/ocean.priester.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ocean.priester.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ocean.priester.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/ocean.priester.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":133,"href":"http:\/\/ocean.priester.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129\/revisions\/133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/ocean.priester.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ocean.priester.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ocean.priester.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
