Garbage Island

Garbage Island (The North Pacific Gyre) is a mass of rotating trash that is twice the size of Texas! The trash mass is 90% plastic waste. It is located of the coast of California and Japan.  Unfortunately, there are at least four garbage gyres that pollute and harm our oceans. It effects many marine animals and birds, which ingest lethal amounts of plastic.
