Answer:
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a 1.6 million kilometer long patch of garbage on the ocean. It is about three times the size of France and twice the size of Texas. It is an area on the surface where garbage has gathered form all over, it is extremely difficult to try and cleanup, because the water's gyres drag the pollution all over the ocean and dump it onto coastlines, shores, habitats, coastal reefs, and even deep into the oceans. Scientists are trying to solve this enviormental issue everyday and are brainstorming new ideas to solve this giant problem.
