News Article - Eastern Pacific Problem

Hi, Today in our social studies we are writing  news article outlining the problem in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.  

The problem in Eastern Pacific is debris trapped in the Great pacific Garbage Patch and it is harmful to the marine life. It is harmful to the marine life because when marine animals think it's a food they will eat it and plastics take about 500+ years to breakdown, it will stay in their stomach and make them suffer until they die, also plastics contain chemicals.

Plastics dump are becoming more and more problem, lots of whales are and getting end up on shores with full of plastics in their body. Whale  when they go up to the fertilises phytoplankton when they go sea surface, phytoplankton are very important because it absorbs carbon dioxide and tuns it into oxygen, also it's 4x more than Amazon Rain forest can produce.

How do the plastics get trapped in the Pacific garbage path?

Plastics litter get through the water ways and getting end up to the ocean, then gets through the ocean current and that leads to the garbage patch.
