of tonnes of rubbish. This area is known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (1) The litter covers a huge area of the ocean, but experts do not agree on its actual size (2) Others claim it might even be as large as Russia. It's difficult to measure the real size because most of the litter is quite small and difficult to see even using satellite photos

This rubbish is deadly to the marine life in the ocean. Fish and other sea creatures often get poisoned by the plastic elements they consume. Another problem is that some sea animals die because they

are trapped in

plastic nets. [3) This often happens to sea turtles The rubbish area in the Pacific isn't the only one Both the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans have similar areas. [4] Smaller patches of litter can also be found near popular shipping routes like the one in the North Sea

A But they are not as large as the one in the Pacific B This means they cannot go to the surface to breathe

C This is the most effective way to clean up the area. D It contains lots of plastic waste that came from ships.

E Some say it's around 700,000 square kilometres (twice as big as Poland).
