Great Garbage Patch
Discovery in the Sea Over the course of time, several discoveries have been made that have placed an impact on our world. To what may seem like the simplest discovery of light, to the discovery of prehistorically items, and so many other discoveries. Without discoveries, and inventions society would be less educated about what happens globally around the world. Many may not even be aware of issues that affect our ecosystem. Humans are not perfect and therefore the world is not perfect. Some do not realize how misplacing garbage can harm the environment tremendously. Simple objects like garbage can play a magnificent role and leave a mark on our environment. Who would even think that a person would have the patience and time to carefully observe garbage.
Thankfully, one person by the name of Charles Moore took time and identified the harmfulness of disposing garbage improperly. Many may not be aware of who Charles Moore is. Moore grew up in and on the Pacific Ocean. His father was a sailor who took Moore along on his sailing journeys. According to Grant, Captain Charles Moore uncovered what is known today as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. He found the Great Pacific Garbage Patch by accident in 1997 (Grant). He was sailing back home from Hawaii when he came across the “plastic soup.” Little did he know that he made history with his discovery.
To believe that an enormous amount of garbage floats around the Pacific Ocean is unbelievable, yet it is sadly true. What exactly is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a part of the Pacific Ocean, twice the size of France that is covered with improperly disposed garbage (Grant). Cups, plastic bottles, plastic bags that are dropped on the street, wash into the sewers or even into rivers and sooner or later become part of the Garbage Patch. There are over 46,000 pieces of plastic per square kilometer that place thousands of animals in danger. Many researchers believe that off that, perhaps
