An Invisible Island Made of TRASH? | Great Pacific Garbage Patch The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a massive floating plastic island between Hawaii and California, covering 1.6 million sq km. It contains over 1.8 trillion plastic pieces, harming 900 marine species. Much of the plastic comes from rivers and ocean currents, forming a deadly "plastic soup." Urgent action is needed to reduce plastic use, improve waste management, and protect marine life. #greatpacificgarbagepatch #plasticpollution
