To determine which coastal area is most likely to become polluted by waste dumped into the Atlantic Ocean from New York State, you can use the map of surface ocean currents that you already have. Here's a step-by-step process to find the answer:
1. Locate the location of New York State on the map.
2. Identify the direction of the surface ocean currents in the Atlantic Ocean.
3. Trace the path of these currents from the east coast of the United States towards their destination.
4. Look for coastal areas along the path of the currents that would potentially be affected by the waste.
By following these steps, you should be able to identify the coastal area that is most likely to become polluted by the waste.
