Option 1: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch Chapter 9 presented a short expose on what has become known as The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (pp. 260). I am also posting a link in this forum to a
short video clip on the topic. What is The Great Pacific Garbage Patch? Where specifically is it found (latitude)? Why does it occur in this particular
location? What are the local and global implications of the area and what do you think can be done about it? This prompt provides a great opportunity to
supply classmates with additional resources, including photographs, maps, data and articles.
