Ocean pollution is mostly created by the mismanagement of plastics.

Plastic in the ocean can be caused by people throwing plastic on the side of the street.

The great garbage patch can be created by the wind blowing rubbish in the ocean.

The ocean currents push the rubbish in the middle of the gyres and it gets stuck and stays there. 

 

The great garbage patch has got 1.8 trillion pieces of rubbish.

Rubbish creates ocean pollution and kills 700 species of sea life because they think it is food or they swim up into it and sea life gets stuck.


Most of the plastic in the ocean comes from fishing commercial boats.

So this is why you should put your rubbish in the bin and not litter.
