Media Saves the Beach Questions

1. How come our water is very polluted, but other countries around the world have cleaner oceans?
- what made me think of this is how in class we were talking about how dirty beaches are in San Diego, so i thought about the beaches around the country. Then i thought about how when you see, here, or read about other countries, mostly its about there like beaches and resorts and stuff.

2. Is there more than one Gire?
- i came up with this question by just simply thinking of the different bodies of oceans, and i thought well if the Pacific Ocean has one, does that mean that the other bodies of oceans do?

3. How did they know how big it was?
- since they said that at one point the gire was to be the size of Texas, years later it was to be the size of the United States. but I still dont see how they knew that. Did they like see trash the surface of the water and went from there and found that there were microscopic particles underneath it? Did they get some samples of the sand from and find it then they started make an estimate of how big it was?
