 Pacific Ocean 


Plastic in the ocean is often digested by birds. Birds identify plastic as something they eat. Once in the stomach of a bird the bird is no longer hungry and dosent receive the proper nutrients it requires.

Pacific Ocean, body of salt water extending from the Antarctic region in the south to the Arctic in the north and lying between the continents of Asia and Australia on the west and North and South America on the east. 

Whats the  problem ? 

There is a lot of plastic in the ocean and the fish think its food and then bigger fish eat the little fish then us humans eat those fish that eaten plastic and there is are a lot of sea creatures dying from plastic turtles and a lot more. 

The effects of plastic on animals ?

Plastic has a deadly affect on the wildlife. Thousands of sea birds, sea turtles and other marine mammals are killed each year after eating plastic or getting entangled in it.

In the eastern pacific ocean, is a great pacific garbage patch (GPGP).  This garbage patch has a huse effect on sea mammals because the garbage patch is in the ocean and the fish see plastic a food. People eat fish but there is alot of sea mammals dying from plastic.
