Have you heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? It's a gyre of plastic debris in the north-central Pacific Ocean — the largest accumulation of plastic in the world. In fact, the oceans are so overwhelmed with plastic pollution that if the Great Pacific garbage patch were a country, it would be the 19th largest in the world.
