What causes the garbage patch?

Garbage patches, like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, are primarily caused by currents in the ocean concentrating marine debris in one area. Plastic waste, such as bottles and fishing gear, make up a large portion of the garbage patch. Irresponsible disposal of plastic items, along with inadequate waste management systems, contribute to the growth of these patches.

Yes; it's very sad to consider the damage to many species that the trash in the North Pacific Gyre will continue to wreak. Perhaps it will draw the world's attention to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, discovered (identified) between 1985 and 1988. Unfortunately, the South Pacific, North Atlantic, and Indian Oceans have garbage patches, too. The United Nations Ocean Conference has estimated that the oceans may contain more weight in plastics than fish by the year 2050.

What are gyres and how do they contribute to the formation of garbage patches?

Gyres are large systems of rotating ocean currents, primarily driven by wind patterns and the Earth's rotation. They create areas of relatively stable water, where debris and pollutants can accumulate over time. This accumulation leads to the formation of garbage patches, such as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which are characterized by high concentrations of plastic and other waste materials. The circular motion of gyres effectively traps and concentrates this debris, exacerbating ocean pollution.
