The Plastic Vortex, or the Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch has been talked and investigated in the news lately. This problem is located in the North Pacific Subtropical Convergence Zone. Sailors and fisherman have noticed an abundance of plastic floating around this concentrated area of the Pacific Ocean. So what’s the big deal? This plastic vortex is not only affecting the marine life that lives there, but it also has a negative effect on people’s health and safety, and may be entering our food chain.
