Marine debris is very dangerous for many marine animals. The debris like six pack rings and plastic bags can strangle and even entangle animals. Plastic pellets are also a big problem, many animals mistake them for food and end up dying from eating to much. All the trash and debris in the ocean has to go somewhere, it all ends up in the garbage patch in the pacific ocean. The garbage patch is now twice the size of Texas and is growing bigger every day. Its nearly impossible to clean up the garbage patch now because of its size, it would cost a lot of money and cleaning it up would not stop the debris from coming. The only way to help is to stop using so much plastic and recycle.
