The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a large area of marine debris in the North Pacific Ocean. It is characterized by a high concentration of plastic waste, chemical sludge, and other debris that has accumulated due to ocean currents. It is estimated to be approximately twice the size of Texas and is considered one of the largest garbage patches in the world. The presence of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch has raised concerns about the impact of plastic pollution on marine life and ecosystems.
