i think its real... my prof. who is a marine biologist says his colleagues encountered it on their way to a field study somewhere in the pacific.they were lost for words. Its quite sad that its everyone's problem but no one wants to clean that mess up cuzz of the expense and the resources required to do so.

Come down and help clean up PINS sometime. Hell, come down and clean up the area you want to fish.
