The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the largest concentration of marine debris in the world. It is located in the Pacific Ocean, and is
estimated to be 1,6 million km2, around three
times the size of France, or two times the size of Texas and keeps growing.
Garbage from all over the world is brought there by the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre,
which is one of the five large systems of ocean currents.
The vast majority of garbage is made of
microplastics that can’t always be seen by the naked eye. Microplastics simply make the water look like a cloudy soup, mixed with larger items, such as fishing gear, shoes, bottles, etc.
Because the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is so
far from any country’s coastline, no nation will
take responsibility or provide the funding to clean it up.
What can we do?
1 Reduce the amount of plastic waste we
produce.
2 Avoid trash from ending in the ocean.
