The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a massive area in the North Pacific Ocean where plastic and other debris accumulate due to ocean currents. This patch is not a solid mass but rather a vast region filled with millions of tiny plastic particles, along with larger items. It poses serious environmental threats, harming marine life and ecosystems, as animals may ingest the plastic or become entangled. The patch highlights the importance of addressing plastic pollution and improving waste management practices globally to protect our oceans and marine life.
