The accumulation of plastic thousands of miles away from land known as the North Pacific Garbage Patch captivated UNCW staff member Bonnie Monteleone and led her to make four open-ocean voyages in three oceans.  While at sea, she hand-netted ubiquitous plastic objects found in nearly 8,000 nautical miles from these research voyages, made possible through the Graduate Liberal Studies Program at UNCW.  Her show is built from artifacts recovered at sea representing various aquatic regions of the world.
