Consuelo Rosauro, general director of environment for Murcia, stated that “the presence of plastic in the ocean and oceans is one of the greatest threats to the conservation of wildlife throughout the world, as many animals are trapped in the trash or ingest large quantities of plastics that end up causing their death,”
Approximately 150 million plastic tonnes are currently floating in our oceans, and an additional eight million tonnes are added to the water every year. Great Garbage Patches are contaminated places as a result of this.
GREAT GARBAGE PATCHES
Our seas are clogged by five large rubbish regions. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the North Pacific Garbage Patch, the Indian Ocean Garbage Patch, and the Mediterranean Garbage Patch are the names of them.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is located between Japan and America and is the closest to Australia, is best described as a large plastic soup that floats in the ocean like oil.
