More goodies... like....
Ducking and diving, bobbing and weaving...
Anyone remember a story quite a few years ago (14 to be precise) about a container vessel losing a box-load of plastic bath toys (28,000 of them, and mainly ducks) in a storm in the Pacific off the coast of China?
Well, they are apparently still bobbing around the world's oceans and reported sightings have been tracked by scientists over the years. It all adds up now to there being a better understanding of how the oceans tides and currents work.
A plastic frog has been sghted several times , notably off the coast of Scotland in 2003. Some of the animals navigated the Bering Straits in 1995, and then a few of these were seen trapped in slow moving ice in the Arctic Ocean in 2000. Others were found in 2001 in the same area where the Titanic sunk.
Treat that bathtime creature with a little more respect tonight, will you, please..?!
