The Great Pacific Garbage Patch: A Plastic Wasteland

Large amounts of plastic in the water harm marine life and distort the ecosystem to the extent of dead animals. The sea is the most important waters on the planet, and if polluted it will face global calamities. Marine pollution is at the highest level ever and must be completed. Due to contamination, the corpses of animals have scattered the sea. The sea is not our personal trash. We need to take a stand to help change this situation. Fragments contaminating the ocean are killing many living creatures.

The North Pacific circulation produces two large plastic fragments called the Western Pacific garbage and the East Pacific garbage dump. It is in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean, the east is 1000 miles from the California coast, and the west extends hundreds of miles from Japan and Hawaii in the west. More specifically, the circulation is a large circular feature consisting of ocean currents rotating around the center point, rotating clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. Gilles occupies 40% of the sea. This is 25% of the world. According to Mr. Moore, they are all garbage deposits.

Unfortunately, the influence of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is far beyond view. According to a recent survey by The Ocean Cleanup, 84% of the plastic at the Great Pacific landfill contains harmful chemical pollutants. This will affect the ocean in the form of increased acidification, but to be frank, in the long run, we do not know the environmental impact of these chemicals. But this is not the worst. Great Pacific Garbage Patch is one of the five revolution in the world. There, plastics are beginning to accumulate at astonishing rates. In the North Pacific, the South Pacific, the North Atlantic, the South Atlantic and the Indian Ocean, there is a unique patch that slowly spreads to the sea.
