The great Pacific garbage patch was described in a 1988 paper published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the United States. The description was based on results obtained by several Alaska-based researchers in 1988 that measured neustonic plastic in the North Pacific Ocean.
While the garbage patch has received a lot of attention because of its size, it is not the only area where marine debris can be found: marine debris affects waters and coastlines around the world. A 2014 study estimated that 8 million metric tons of plastic trash enter the sea from land every yearâthe equivalent of five plastic bags filled with trash for every foot of coastline around the world.
