6. Agreed - I worked near Corpus for several years
The beach trash and tar balls have to be seen to be believed.
Also...I've posted this before, but it's worth another mention here.
I participated on a pole-to-pole oceanographic transect of the Pacific Basin a fews years ago.
The North Pacific between the Aleutians and Hawaii are chock full of plastic debris. On two consecutive days, I went up to the bow and did a 1 hour count of visible pieces passing within 10 meters of the ship (we were doing ~10 knots).
We encountered a piece of plastic every 27 seconds (on average).
