Plastic Pollution Surprisingly Found Deep in Mariana Trench

February 25, 2011 – Scientists have discovered plastic trash at a depth of more than 10,000 meters in the Mariana Trench. Located in the western Pacific Ocean, the Mariana Trench is the deepest oceanic region on Earth, with a depth of up to 10,973 meters. This region, which is considered to be the limit of life’s existence due to its extreme high pressure, low temperatures, and dark environments, is home to a large amount of floating plastic garbage, triggering a profound reflection on the issue of plastic pollution around the globe.
