This is one of the better outcomes for plastics floating around in the oceans that I can think of. Melted and lumped into rocks it won't tangle living organisms, and it should be more inert than if it were ground into micro-particles due to far less surface area.
It's even more beautiful than tangled nets and other plastic debris.
I'm not trying to defend it mind you, we really really need to do a better job of keeping plastic out of the oceans.
