I would suggest humans to collect their trash!!! Throwing your plastic in the nature...OK, but expect to eat it back sonner or later. By the way it has started

If this is true, it's kinda easy to recycle it.
An important thing to remember is that there aren't many photos because the plastic is mainly microplastic.
That's true people talk about islands of trash but that doesn't truly exist most of the photos are edited or where there are actual patches. Micro plastics are extremely dangerous tho still really bad
Aren't fish swallowing micro Plastics like one of the main things? Surely you've heard about someone eating a fish that ate microplastics? Where did you somehow forget about their effects with the memory worse than mine.
@OwO we won't
@OwO not the time bud
So what happens to all the plastic thrown into the ocean then? 🤔
The oceans literally grouped it all up for us, we just gotta actually do something about it now
Sadly the governments are too greedy and power-hungry to the point that they'll make up an excuse not to do something
Long story short money is starting to do more harm than good
Right
You first.
There is. Organization is called “The Ocean Cleanup”. There is also a sailboat called the Manta that also collects ocean trash on those spots. Some good Corporations are acknowledging it, so it’s getting better. Though we can still do more I’m sure.
@@surfcaster

Governments should be doing something and it should be a requirement based on gdp to belong to the UN at all to allocate a certain amount of help or funds to clean that shit up.
I set a bottle adrift in the 70s off NC with a note to tell me the contents of the bottle and please return it all.. I put a bunch of trinkets and a 20. bill to cover shipping costs nside then sealed it with epoxy. 45 years later I got a call from a guy surfing in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Israel. He said I found your bottle and there's all kinds of cool trinkets in it but when I cracked open the bottle the 20. bill was already missing.
What the F 😂😂😂😂 man.... That's trippy and amazing... 🤯
It end up in the Mediterranean...? Hope you're not making this up... Also that dollar bill will fade to a white paper...
Israel guy stole it. Not surprising.
You were lucky the theif who took the $20 re-sealed the bottle properly. Its amazing how far it went
@markhondaturbo the theif? Yeah ok bud
For anyone curious as to why...
Every last one of these patches lies on what are termed the Horse Latitudes, where the tropical Hadley Cell collides with the temperate Ferrell Cell. This generates a bubble of high pressure marked by little or no winds and precious little rainfall - it is hardly coincidence that all of Earth's major deserts lie along the Horse Latitudes.
thats so interesting!!!!
@@sukappoiyoAgree.
I was gonna write all this as I saw not a single comment who knows why this happens.
Edit: If you're reading about this for the first time and don't fully understand the text then I'd recommend looking for a photo called "intertropical convergence zone. " Read the above comment as you look at the diagram, you'll understand it better.
its called the horse latitude because apparently sailors had to throw out of ships horses (or goods) to get any traction otherwise ships were stuck there forever.

We gotta find out how life in the sea and ground reacts to this

We need big boat and net thats how you fix the problem
@@Crispx_2 lots of researchers do "harvest" some of those plastics and take them to their boat.

Probably girls rather than boys; in fishing-through-swimming cultures, the women tend to be the breadwinners of the family as the thickness of one’s subcutaneous fat means that women can tolerate cold water temperatures a bit better (and those plastic buoys went through some pretty cold places lol)
/joke, but also, based on truth (the matriarchal haenyeo culture of Jeju, where the women become free-divers who collect mussels and abalone from down at the sea floor while the men stay at home and take care of the children)

You know what... This is actually COOL. If we got our crap together, we could a ton of the trash out of the oceans. We wouldn't have to sweep the whole ocean, just target specific areas.
need to find another place for it though, yikes
best I think we can do is sift through it and see what we can convert into something a bit more friendly for the environment
Thay are starting to clean this disaster and recycle the plastic. There is vids on ytub

I saw the garbage patch in the Indian Ocean. It caused me to really get into recycling. It was so horrible to see. There were pieces of debris big enough to see from up in the ship’s bridge and they seemed to be 10-20 yards apart from each other. There were smaller pieces visible with binoculars. the sea is usually beautiful to look at, with dolphins jumping alongside the ship every so often. We saw no dolphins while going through the garbage patch. It was such a depressing sight.
Fub fact, most of the north pacific garbage patch came from China dumping plastic they bought from the US to "recycle" in the 70s

Yeah your right and due to the government going on about climet change should be concentrating on this which will add new Jobs
@lizgillies2691 only issue is it's not a 1 government thing. No one owns the ocean and all this trash in concentrating on international waters. At that point the project needs international approval or cooperation
Just as interesting as it would be to not throw anything into the water to begin with
@@newtybot try and convince China and India to stop. They're the ones doing it the most rn
There are a few factors to this though.The short dosent explain it properly.
Firstly it is incredibly inefficient at the moment because for all the waste we have generated,the ocean is way way too big to be collecting all the waste together,they are not clumped into a specific dimension or area.
Second, there is no guarantee of how the ocean is going to behave, especially in the southern Atlantic and Indian Ocean regions which are considered to be quite unpredictable since early 1500s.Hence the data we have worked with up until this point is rendered useless
And finally there is no chance that even if we get consistent amount of waste from these points,we would be able to recycle or dispose it effectively ultimately letting this waste end up back into the ocean.
The first step to this issue should be to bring a 100% Recycle process or step away from plastic indefinitely
finally we could be able to walk from Australia to South America. what a time to be alive

The South Pacific used to scare sailors. One ship was completely reliant on slow ocean currents for 3 weeks before they caught some useable wind again.
But how do u know 🤔
@@Kenan-79 because sailors told their stories of the south pacific... those who survived.
I think because a lot of it lies along a horse latitude at 30 degrees south, where the winds don't blow very much. They call them horse latitudes because the horses sometimes got thrown overboard while sailors were stuck in these parts of the ocean to conserve fresh, drinkable water.

It's going to solve it on his own, it's a resource unexploited by nature, every day we see a worm that can eat plastic and so in 50 years plastic will be like wood, a hard molecule to eat but some small organisms complete the cycle.
