The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, plastic pollution statistics, and ways to address the issue of plastic in the ocean are discussed.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is an area in the North Pacific Ocean where marine debris, mostly consisting of plastics, is accumulated due to ocean currents.
Plastic was not created to save animals but its widespread use has led to environmental issues like marine pollution.
Approximately between five and 20 million tonnes of plastic enter the ocean each year, contributing to the pollution and formation of garbage patches.
To help tackle the plastic in the ocean issue, individuals can reduce single-use plastic consumption, participate in beach clean-ups, and support policies for proper waste management.
