I'm not caught up with the microplastics problem. But I suspect the locals had read testimony from scientists studying the problem. People really give a shit about pollution in Hawai'i. It also seems very unlikely that the quantity would be there without ocean currents bringing it in from the big offenders like China. Hawai'i has a pretty small population of people who are widely very concientious about polluting the ocean, compared to most other people in the world.
