Create biodegradable plastic so that way the plastic dissolves instead of becoming smaller.

Remove plastic completely.

well as you see in the video on my first example there are five of these garbage patches in the ocean

Well people on boats can throw trash over board

Waves can carry the trash

# data[].attributes.body
80% of the trash comes from the land. for example people who litter or the trash can get caught in storm drains or travel through rivers and bays. 20% of the trash comes from the sea. one example is when containers are being shipped over seas...some areas have severe storms and can cause the ship to wreck or cause some of the containers to go over board. (approximatly 100 each year) some of these containers hold shoes or tons of plastic bags.

Feeder vessels or feeder ships are medium-size freight ships. In general, a feeder designates a seagoing vessel with an average capacity of carrying 300 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) to 1000 TEU. Feeders collect shipping containers from different ports and transport them to central container terminals where they are loaded to bigger vessels or further transport by truck or rail into the hub port's hinterland.
