An estimated 100,000 marine mammals and sea turtles in the North Pacific are killed every year by waste plastic in the seas.
Between 70% and 100% of seabirds in the North Pacific (depending on species and location) are affected by mistakenly eating plastic.
There is an area twice the size of Texas in the middle of the Pacific where waste plastic accrues, gathered by ocean currents. The North Pacific Gyre also known as The Garbage Patch, The Plastic Vortex, The Plastic Soup!
There are six pounds of plastic for every one pound of zooplankton, the dominant life form in the area.
