Thank you Kim van Arkel  for this interesting and compelling report. In the conclusion, they mention limitations to the data available regarding the amount of plastic debris that are trapped in organisms or in sea ice. Those debris are therefore not on the beaches, nor on ocean surface nor on ocean floor... It could be that the pollution is actually far greater! Any data on that?
