Hello, for today I will talk about the problem in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. there are lots and lots of plastic in the Pacific Ocean and it creates multiple pollutions. and it's called the plastic patch.
The problem in this scenario is that fish are being killed by this plastic patch. after decades in the ocean, this will turn into a plastic soup, this is created by the thousand of plastic being turn into a small piece of plastic and turn into millions of small particles of plastic. small fish think that this plastic is food. but in reality, this plastic might be the last thing they will eat. so the main problem here is that more plastic is being made as time goes. in 2050 there might be 50% of clean water and 50% of garbage in the sea and more and more fish will die.
This affects the fishes that live deep down. the courses of this are that fish, other animals, and we will be affected by this. because the water around the world might have pieces of plastic in it. even the water we drink. we get fresh water because of the seawater and the sun is the one who is providing us some freshwater.
The solution is that we need to stop making plastic and use a material that can recycle and easy to break down, maybe in the future we can make this happen. or we just have to not throw lots of garbage in the ocean.
