North Pacific Gyre
I ran across this story a while back, and it seemed to odd to be real. It seems there is an area the size of Texas in the North Pacific, that due to currents, accumulates lots of trash, mostly plastic. There is currently 6x more plastic in the water than plankton.

Even more disturbing is the article referenced on this Wiki page:
