About the ocean currents, but also about how plastic in our oceans can last notjust for decades but hundreds of years. one of the biggest problems with plastic is it doesn't break down over time. it breaks up. and what we mean by that is it breaks up into smaller and smaller pieces. so all of these bits here that are less than half a centimetre are considered a micro—plastic, and eventually these will break up into smaller and smaller pieces, and become nano—plastic. we have no way of measuring how much is out there in the oceans and how much is coming in on every single tide. but if you a...

Dragons on the ship. and presumably, you have found most of the pieces along the shoreline yourself but you have never found one of these? i have neverfound a green dragon. tell me about the green dragon. so back in �*97, our next—door neighbourfound one of the green dragons. the next week, a beach cleaner here in north cornwall found one. and that's it. so the green dragon... 25 years ago, this ship lost 62 containers 20 miles off the coast. one was full of 5—million pieces of lego. where it washes up now has told scientists much about the ocean currents but also about how plastic in ou...

Tracey has seen just two green dragons in 25 years. so there were over 33,000 dragons on the ship. and presumably, you have found most of the pieces along the shoreline yourself but you have never found one of these? i have neverfound a green dragon. tell me about the green dragon. so back in �*97, our next—door neighbourfound one of the green dragons. the next week, a beach cleaner here in north cornwall found one. and that�*s it. so the green dragon... 25 years ago, this ship lost 62 containers 20 miles off the coast. one was full of 5 million pieces of lego. where it washes up now has...

Those extremely rare pieces. but of course it does tell the other story too. scientists have been looking for a long time at where those pieces are washing—up, what parts of the beaches in cornwall, all along the beaches in cornwall, all along the coast here really, even in parts of devon. there have even been reports of bits about lego being found in places as far away as holland, where the ocean currents have taken it over all that time. and that tells them a lot about the behaviour of the ocean but also of course as we heard there about how plastic survives in our oceans. and it is of cou...
