endurance and long-distance travel of

materials in the ocean researchers can
2:11
sometimes determine the origin of washed
2:13
up objects by studying maps of ocean
2:15
currents which they have been
2:17
meticulously building since the 1980s
2:21
drifting boys equipped with location
2:23
tracking capabilities have played a
2:25
crucial role in collecting data on ocean
2:28
currents additionally discarded items
2:30
like printer ink cartridges syringes
2:33
golf balls business cards and drinks
2:36
bottles have been used to track ocean
2:39

2:54
including natural items like pumis wraps

from subsea volcanoes and discarded
3:00
items like cigarette lighters has also

3:05
researchers in Japan have even proposed
3:07
using cigarette lighters for this
3:09
purpose as they often contain printed
3:11
information about their consuming
3:13
country or city making their Source

traceable by analyzing thousands of
3:18
Lighters collected across the North
3:20
Pacific over 7 years researchers were

able to map Marine litter flows across

Asia and the US aiding and understanding

tracking the origins of washed up debris
3:33
can provide insights into invasive

Canada among the debris were Marine
3:53
creatures typically found in Japan's
