The North Atlantic garbage patch is a garbage patch of man-made marine debris found floating within the North Atlantic Gyre, originally documented in 1972. [1] A 22-year research study conducted by the Sea Education Association estimates the patch to be hundreds of kilometers across, with a density of more than 200,000 pieces of debris per ...

In general it may be good to discuss the major contributors to the North Atlantic Garbage Patch and where the marine debris is coming from or how much it has grown since it was first documented. Jadeorr11 04:32, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
The North Pacific Garbage Patch on a continuous ocean map. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch formed gradually as a result of ocean or marine pollution gathered by ocean currents. [39] It occupies a relatively stationary region of the North Pacific Ocean bounded by the North Pacific Gyre in the horse latitudes. The gyre's rotational pattern draws ...
The existence of the North Atlantic Garbage Patch is documented. Mining of St. Pierre Island ceased, converting an island once densely forested into a barren, pitted landscape. The World Conference on Breeding Endangered Species in Captivity as an Aid to their Survival is held. It is the world's first conference on captive breeding.
The best known of these is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch which has the highest density of marine debris and plastic. The Pacific Garbage patch has two mass buildups: the western garbage patch and the eastern garbage patch, the former off the coast of Japan and the latter between California and Hawaii.
