An Unseen Danger by Linda Piacentini-Yaple - SOLD!

Sold
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a collection of marine debris—mostly plastics—in the Pacific Ocean that lies in a high-pressure zone between California and Hawaii. The garbage is a hazard to the wildlife that finds itself trapped, a risk to algae and plankton populations that feed marine animals, and thus, a threat to the entire food web.
