i think there is
there is not a certain no. of ocean currents that take place inside each ocean gyre.
This implies that the food web structure and primary productivity are uncoupled in the oligotrophic gyres.The North Pacific Gyre collected enough debris to create the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
Because of the plastic gyre the size of Texas in the pacific ocean
North Atlantic Gyre
It is located in an area call the North Pacific Gyre, which is a patch of the North Pacific Ocean that covers thousands of square miles roughly between the United States and Japan and reaching toward Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. It's called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch because the prevailing ocean currents tend to swirl around this patch of ocean, causing all manner of floating debris to be concentrated in the gyre.
yes. the island full of plastic is called the Pacific Gyre which is a 10-million-square-mile oval in the North Pacific Ocean -Mark Washington

Gulf SteamA gyre current is a system of four currents completing a flow circuit around the periphery of an ocean basin. This gyre current would be called the North Atlantic gyre.
