Charles Moore Biography

A yachting competition across the Pacific led veteran seafarer Charles Moore to discover what some have since deemed the worlds largest landfill -- actually a huge water-bound swath of floating plastic garbage the size of two Texases. Trapped in an enormous slow whirlpool called the Pacific Gyre, a mostly stagnant, plankton-rich seascape spun of massive competing air currents, this Great Pacific Garbage Patch in some places outweighs even the surface waters biomass six-to-one.
Moore said after his return voyage, There were shampoo caps and soap bottles and plastic bags and fishing floats as far as I could see. Here I was in the middle of the ocean, and there was nowhere I could go to avoid the plastic.
Since his discovery, Moore has been analyzing the giant litter patch and its disastrous effects on ocean life. Through the Algalita Marine Research Foundation, he hopes to raise awareness about the problem and find ways to restrict its growth. Hes now leading several expeditions to sample plastic fragments across thousands of miles of the Pacific.
