Pacific Garbage Patch

The Pacific Garbage Patch is a large area in the North Pacific Ocean where tiny plastic particles and debris accumulate due to ocean currents. It is not a solid mass of trash but rather a dispersed collection of plastics, debris, and microplastics. These materials come from land and maritime activities, creating harmful impacts on marine life, ecosystems, and potentially human health. Awareness of the patch highlights the larger issue of plastic pollution in our oceans and the need for sustainable practices to reduce waste and protect marine environments.
