Over the past two decades, unprecedented issues in the oceans, floating garbage patches, have been discovered. There are majorly 5 massive garbage patches floating on the ocean surface, including the biggest Pacific Patch, between Hawaii and California. The garbage patch is an accumulation of trash disposal by industrial production that mainly consists of oil-based plastic. In a recent study from nature.com, it was known that 79,000 tons of plastic are floating in an area spanning 1.6 million square kilometers. The ocean garbage patches can linger on the ocean surface for centuries, posing potential threats to the surrounding environment. Multiple organizations like the Sea Educations Association have carried research in this field by sending ships in the patch, which lay nets, tow and collect the garbage for analysis. This technique has numerous disadvantages as the patch is too large to be monitored by a group of boats. Airplanes can be used to map the patch; however floating plastic can change its position, and thus a piece of more dynamic and real-time equipment is needed for assistance in clean-up. Satellite monitoring proposes another challenge, as a lot of observers have claimed that patches are not visible on satellite imaging (1). Another challenge is the type of plastic. Currently, 65-70% of the dump is mega plastic (>40cm). As plastic is buoyant, it usually is found above 40 m of depth. On exposure of sunlight and SONAR waves, this can turn to micro-plastic, which will be difficult to monitor and clean. Thus, effective cleaning needs to be carried out immediately (2). In this report, I review the impact of the garbage patch on the climate and the environment and aim to investigate and provide suggestions on methods to monitor such patches.
