Toxic pacific
a vest mass of waste- the size of turkey texas or Afghanistan according to environment agency Greenpeace is floating in the North pacific ocean gathered in two huge groups (one to the east of japan the other to the west of North America) the great pacific garbage patch is made up largely of non-biodegradable debris much of it plastic. Ocean currents carry rubbish around the pacific in clockwise direction but the area in the centaur of this vortex is still-a perfect place for waste settle(see below).Turles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish and eat them while fish and seabirds eat smaller pieces of plastic which they can choke on or which can harm their internal organs. Large debris can harm sea life (the photo above shows a mass of rope and fishing nets that traps wildlife such as sharks or sea lions) but most of the plastic exists in microscopic pieces that block out light. This has disastrous repercussions for thing plankton and alge- vital parts of the marine food chain. The plastic also releases harmful pollutant as it breaks down. Of the estimated 100 million tonnes (110million US tons) of plastic produced each year 10 million tonnes (11million US tons end up in the see. cheating up this huge marine wasteland is beyond the capability of any one country the solution may lie in fundamental change in humanity habits by giving up our addiction to plastic and switching to biodegradable (or reusable) materials that decompose safely we may help to shrink the great pacific garbage path over time.
Greatest ocean pollutant
according to the UN environment program plastic bag make up more than 50% of all marine litter with 46,000 pies of plastic for every square mile of ocean. In parts of the pacific ocean for every 1kg (2 lb 3 oz) of biomass there are 6kg (13lb 13oz) of plastic. The Blue ocean society for marine conservation estimates that more than 1million birds and 100,000 mammals die each year from choking on or becoming entangled in plastic.
