The north pacific gyre

 Here's some more information, thanks blackgold for the intro on it

The gyre is created by swirling currents in the northern section of the pacific ocean. The swirling current causes trash to be pulled out into the middle of the north pacific causing a huge mass of trash to form bigger than the size of Texas . There are also bits of microplastic which to some fish can look like the plankton that they eat, when they eat it, then a larger fish eats ten of them, then the larger fish ends up with ten pieces of microplastic in them . When a shark eats 20 of these fish they can end up a large mass of plastic inside them. This is the north pacific gyre .
