Gyre
A gyre is a large, rotating system of ocean currents that collects floating materials such as plastics into central “garbage patches.”
Microplastics
Microplastics are small plastic particles, typically less than 5 millimeters in diameter, that result from the breakdown of larger plastic waste or are intentionally manufactured at that size.
Water pollution
Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies by harmful substances, making them unsafe for humans, wildlife, and ecosystems.
