Every year humans discard their trash which winds up in waterways around the world. Here is a video on one such “floating trash island” in the Caribbean Sea. What else can we learn about floating trash islands? Take a few moments to help the class crowdsource Internet resources to understand this “water catastrophe” (according to Evie).
This floating island of trash was thought to be "unspoiled by humans" https://t.co/uL0XBQ4qhM

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_garbage_patch
In this site it shows where all the trash patches are in the world and how and when they formed. The Northern Pacific Gyre was discovered in between 1985 and 1988. So far the Pacific Ocean is winning with 2 trash patches, unfortunately if your winning in this contest your losing.
