"On the Cocos Keeling Islands, about 1,300 miles northwest of Australia,.."

Not only is the title misleading, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands are located at the mouth of the Bay of Bengal, collecting trash from India, etc.

You’ll have to admit, 1300 miles from Australia *is* pretty remote!

I hope they didn’t just count it, they should have picked it up while they were there.

“414 million pieces of trash found on remote islands near Australia, study finds” “lone vagabond split from Neanderthals 1.2 million years ago” Sounds familiar.

Cocos Islands
Keeling
The Territory of Cocos Islands is an Australian external territory in the Indian Ocean, comprising a small archipelago approximately midway between Australia and Sri Lanka. It is part of Southeast Asia and is in the Southern Hemisphere. The territory’s dual name reflects that the islands have historically been known as either the Cocos Islands or the Keeling Islands.Wikipedia

Does the article say how big the pieces are? I could generate that many pieces of trash by myself using a paper shredder.
