A carpet of plastic and polystyrene debris several miles wide was discovered this October by British-born photographer Caroline Power.
She captured the scene on camera between the Honduran islands of Roatán and Cochinos Cays off the north coast of Honduras in the usually pristine Caribbean sea.
"There were a seemingly endless amount of forks, spoons, bottles and plastic dishes. There were busted soccer balls, toothbrushes, a television and a lot of shoes and flip-flops," the artist and environmental activist wrote on Facebook, where she shared the images.
"It is devastating to see something that matters so much to me being slowly killed and suffocated because of human waste," she said.
