I have decided to write my paper on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. I intend to focus on the clean up efforts that are currently being implemented or may be implemented in the future. In order to do this I will need to establish to my readers what exactly the Great Pacific Garbage Patch including how it was formed. I will also discuss the potential health risks that are posed to humans and as well as the health risks posed to marine life in order to convey the reasons in why action needs to be taken. The risks from this garbage is a very much real issue that has already begun to affect humans and marine life alike.
