Have you heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? It's a gyre of plastic debris in the north-central Pacific Ocean — the largest accumulation of plastic in the world. In fact, the oceans are so overwhelmed with plastic pollution that if the Great Pacific garbage patch were a country, it would be the 19th largest in the world. Check out our interactive map to see how it measures up to other places for yourself: https://biodiv.us/3SMFWSs | Center for Biological Diversity

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch(GPGP) is the world's largest accumulation of ocean plastic, trapped in the North Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and California by circulating currents known as the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Despite its name, it is not a solid island of trash but a widely dispersed area. While it covers an estimated surface area of 1.6 million square kilometers, the vast majority of the debris consists of microplastics, which are tiny fragments not always visible to the naked e

Garbage patches and gyres The Earth’s Ocean Basins turn in giant currents called Gyres, driven by surface winds such as the strong equatorial Trade winds. Water circulates rapidly near the ocean coastlines but in the middle of each basin there is a pool of calmer, slower-moving water. When floating trash gets into the ocean, it rapidly is swept out of the areas with strong currents but it can basically get stuck in the areas with weak currents. This process has led to the formation of “Garbage p

The North Pacific Ocean contains an accumulation of marine garbage known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The North Pacific Subtropical Gyre divides the garbage patch, also referred to as the Pacific trash vortex, into two separate areas of waste. The North Pacific Subtropical Convergence Zone, which is situated a few hundred kilometers north of Hawaii, connects these regions of whirling debris. This area functions like a highway, transporting debris from one patch to the next. #DiscoveryChan
