[edit] Map request
 |
It is requested that a map or maps be included in this article to improve its quality. |
This article could use a map showing where the major gyres in the world's oceans are, and how they relate to major ocean currents. There are a number of maps floating around online which could provide the source information for such a map, though they tend to either show currents or gyres, but not both. -- Beland (talk) 00:56, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
