The Ocean Garbage Patch is located in the North Pacific. It has been forming from the debris collected and gathered by the oceanic currents and collects all in this particular area. It mainly consists of plastic particles. It is figured that around 80% of the garbage comes from land and the other 20% is from ships. Either way it is a continuing problem that is growing. The wildlife that live in this area are suffering from eating the trash and ending up with these plastics in there stomach causing great damage. As man we can end this by not littering and doing our part to clean up litter that we do see in order to help prevent the Ocean Garbage Patch to continue to grow.
