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.
