In just over half a century plastic products have revolutionized human society
and have infiltrated terrestrial and marine environments in every corner of the
globe. The hazard plastic debris poses to biodiversity is well established, but
mitigation and planning are often hampered by a lack of quantitative data on
accumulation patterns. Here we document the amount of debris and rate of
accumulation on Henderson Island, a remote, uninhabited island in the South
Pacific. The density of debris was the highest reported anywhere in the world, up
to 671.6 items/m(2) (mean ± SD: 239.4 ± 347.3 items/m(2)) on the surface of the
beaches. Approximately 68% of debris (up to 4,496.9 pieces/m(2)) on the beach was
buried <10 cm in the sediment. An estimated 37.7 million debris items weighing a
total of 17.6 tons are currently present on Henderson, with up to 26.8 new
items/m accumulating daily. Rarely visited by humans, Henderson Island and other
remote islands may be sinks for some of the world's increasing volume of waste.
