The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

My presentation was based on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It was discovered by racing boat captain known as Charles Moore, who was sailing from Hawaii to California.When crossing the subtropical gyre he noticed millions of pieces of plastics surrounding his ship. These plaastics have great danger on aquatic species. The plastics block  sunlight from reaching on  plankton and algae which produces food for fishes,and other living organisms in the sea or ocean.These plastics have  become a disaster to most marine species. They are often found dead with bottle caps, plastics and other stuff in their stomach. I also spoke about the Gyre. The ocean currents collect floating garbage for thousabds of miles and drop it into the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. The trash is eventually packed into convergence zone that links two eastern and western garbage patches, which form the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
