Gyres
Marine debris is a subject to transport by ocean currents and tends to accumulate in a limited number of subtropical convergence zones or gyres. These gyres occur in the North and South Atlantic Ocean, the North and South Pacific, and the Indian Ocean.

Source: UNEP 2014 Microplastics are formed when plastic items fragment and disintegrate. The rate of fragmentation is highly depended on the environmental seLing, especially temperature and the amount of UV light available. Microplastics are also manufactured for use in plastic production, for other industrial purposes such as sand blasting, or for use in consumer (eg. personal care) products. The term ‘microplastics’ is widely used to describe plastic particles with an upper size limit of 5 mm in diameter, which is the size range most readily ingested by many organism. However, microplastics in products can be as small as 0.004 µμm
