IMPACT:
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch has a huge impact on the environment. The Garbage Patch impacts the environment because it kills a lot of animals in the ocean because the animals think the plastic is food and they eat it and die. Sometimes they get caught in the plastic as well. Many animals and organisms in the ocean are endangered now because of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. If the problem persists, it could have drastic effects on the ecosystem. If all the fish die, people that like fish will have nothing to eat besides meat. The great pacific garbage patch can even spread farther and kill many different kinds of organisms. Fishermen will lose money and business because they will have no fish to sell.
