People think of the ocean as an amorphous mass, but it is also a great sorter of objects, particularly the plastic floatsome New York City‘s little contribution to the many oceanic garbage patches. From my kayak I have seen some very strange things. There is, for example a beach on an uninhabited island just north of the city that is completely covered in plastic tampon applicators. Something about the motion of the waters has all sorted them to this 16 m wide space. 1/
