what happened to the ducks?

I will now explain what exactly happened to the ducks. This is a very interesting story to what, at the time may have seemed to be a disaster, is now a great source for scientific reasearch and curiosity. In 1992 a cargo ship set sail from hong kong to the U.S.A. Little did people know that those particular ducks would still be in in the ocean 20 years later. Scientists await there arrival at shore so they can analyse the ducks and learn about plastic pollution and ocean currents. Some of the ducks have arrived in places like Hawaii, South america, Australia and the north west pacific. Others have also been found frozen in the arctic sea. Still others have somehow made their way as far as Scotland and Newfoundland in the Atlantic. Scientists analyse and use scientific machines to study the changes to these ducks to help them understand our changing world. Personally I am curious of this particular event because I am eager to find out where they travelled to and from, how they got to their current locations and how they can be involved in scientific research.
