Marine debris is a visible expression of human impact on the marine environment. Debris is more than an aesthetic problem, posing a danger to marine organisms through ingestion and entanglement (Day 1980, Balazs 1985, Fowler 1987, Ryan 1987, Robards 1993, Bjorndal et al. 1994, Laist 1997). The number of marine mammals that die each year due to ingestion and entanglement approaches 100,000 in the North Pacific Ocean alone (Wallace 1985).

What is the problem in the North Pacific gyre?

Marine organisms ingest or get entangled in it. 

What danger does marine debris pose?

500
More research, especially long-term monitoring programs can provide input for conservation management and evidence that could be used to demand from local and regional authorities more efforts to mitigate the problem.
What is a recommendation for real world.
500

Less well studied are the effects of ingestible debris on fish, and no studies have been conducted on filter-feeding organisms, whose feeding mechanisms do not permit them to distinguish between debris and plankton. Moreover, no studies have compared the amount of neustonic debris to that of plankton to assess the potential effects on filter feeders.
