I agree. We are responsible for polluting the oceans. Public awareness has to increase to keep the environment clean.
Do you have any aerial photos to show of the actual “plastic soup” with a nearby ship so that we can see its relative size? It ought to be plainly visible, right?

I don’t have aerial photographs. Yes, definitely aerial photos can give clear view.
This is disgusting we really need to clean up our act BAN PLASTIC its the only solution
