Debris Fields

You're unlikely to find unique or new debris in a vast ocean garbage dump. There's junk of all shapes and sizes floating about, some uniting in enlightened solidarity forming a continent larger than the US.

Planes and satellites looking for junk instead discover comedic fodder, finding so much promising trash that it becomes the same noise as those seeking "closure" through fantastical false hope, victims of the same paralysis learned from infinite daily news about the trivial.

The frothing emotional drama misses the larger picture of once pristine oceans, an archaic construct that needed to be progressively changed by loading it up with trash to spread useless debris everywhere for mutual long-term loss.
