Plastic is a large part of human existence. Plastics waste in the ocean is estimated to be between 75 to 199 million tons. Plastic accumulates in the ocean in gyres. Gyres are massive circular currents that trap the floating plastic. 5 Gyres is a non-profit organization with special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
It’s up to each of us to prevent additional plastic accumulation in our oceans.
