An Estimated 10,000 Shipping Containers are Lost at Sea Every Year

"Each year, an estimated 10,000 shipping containers fall off container ships at sea. Although many of these containers float at the surface for months, most eventually sink to the seafloor. No one knows what happens to these containers once they reach the deep seafloor." - excerpt from MBARI news release.
