Perhaps our descendants, 10000 years in the future, will be exploring the purpose of The Great Pacific garbage patch.

Assuming some break with history or loss of cultural memory, after 10k years of photodisintegration and absorption into the biosphere, there will be no Garbage Patch.
Our descendants would then be left to wonder at the odd adaptations that life must have made to accommodate complex polymers into their biology, and where those complex polymers might have come from.
