The main problem in the Eastern Pacific Ocean is that there is a great pacific garbage patch in the ocean. A garbage patch is a gyre that is circulating around in a certain place of the ocean, causing a garbage patch underneath the water, which can not be seen. This is caused by the rubbish that has ended up in the ocean. The movement of the water is causing the rubbish to get stuck in this gyre and it’s getting bigger by the second. Tones and tones of marine life die every day because of this environmental catastrophe. 100 million marine animals die from plastic waste alone, ⅓ of the marine life is found tangled in the litter. Fisherman's abandoned fishing gear makes up a big population of rubbish in the ocean estimated at around 8-12 tons in the ocean each year. Meaning the cause of this is death. This shows that because of one mistake it’s turned into a bigger situation.
