This snail usually creates a floating mass of bubbles which it uses to drift through the oceans, feeding on other drifters like by-the-wind sailors (Vellela sp) and Portuguese man o' wars (Physalia sp). The MY Arctic Sunrise is currently in a voyage into the Great Pacific Garbage Patch to document plastics and other marine debris. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a soupy mix of plastics and microplastics, now twice the size of Texas, in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean.Locations:North America-Pacific OceanDate:26 Sep, 2018Credit:© Justin Hofman / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5000px X 3334pxKeywords:Close ups-Day-KWCI (GPI)-Marine debris-Marine pollution-Microplastics-Oceans (campaign title)-Plastics-SnailsShoot:MY Arctic Sunrise Great Pacific Garbage Patch Tour (photos by J.
