LA JOLLA — Fresh from a 20-day voyage to a Texas-size vortex of plastic trash called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a team of La Jolla researchers yesterday showed samples of what it found floating about 1,000 miles off San Diego's coast.

Scientists from UCSD's Scripps Institution of Oceanography used nets to collect debris for a study to highlight how the trash is damaging an ecosystem that few people ever see and few marine biologists have assessed. The refuse — discarded carelessly on land and at sea — eventually converges in an area known as the North Pacific Gyre, where trade winds can trap it for years.
