Supplementary notes

* The question was formulated by the source as follows: "The 7th Continent symbolizes masses of plastic waste concentrated in the global ocean. 80% of the plastics present at sea come from the human activity on the continents and no ocean is preserved by this massive presence of plastics (270 000 tons identified as on the surface of the ocean). Microscopic and invisible to the naked eye, these plastics carry endocrine disruptors, heavy metals and other pollutants. They are so many traps for biodiversity, fish, marine mammals and birds.
Have you ever heard of the 7th continent? "
