Taking out the trash - in the middle of the Pacific
Description: Big city garbage trucks have it easy compared to the NOAA team that spent four weeks clearing the remote Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument of 12 tons of marine debris. They found some things you'd expect to find, such as derelict fishing gear and buoys and, somethings you wouldn't, like cigarette lighters and rubber sandals. [Source: NOAA News]
