By contrast, phytoplankton are scarce in remote ocean gyres due to nutrient limitations.

与此相反，因为养分的限制，在偏远的洋流中浮游植物非常罕见。

Some end up in gyres. A gyre is a big whirlpool that traps and moves the plastic in circles.

其中一些被卷入环流。环流是指让困住垃圾并使其环形运动的大漩涡。

Land masses that end up in the path of the rotating gyres receive particularly large amounts of trash.

位于环流路径上的陆块会得到大量的垃圾。

For example, ocean scientists documented an increase in the area of subtropical ocean gyres-the least productive ocean areas-over the past decade.

举例来说，海洋科学家们记录了在过去的10年中，亚热带洋流(最不具生长力的的海洋区域)的面积在不断增加。

More research is undoubtedly needed, and STOP's research partner, 5gyres, is going to send an expedition to the South Pacific and Indian Ocean gyres in 2011.

这无疑需要更多的研究 ，STOP的研究伙伴， 5gyres ，将在2011年派一支考察队到南太平洋和印度洋环流地区。
