Long term effect

The food chain is affect because the plastic is attracting the seabirds and fish thus results them consuming the plastic and then affecting the food chain. This can lead to even bigger problems when species start consuming species that have ingested plastics. Plastic is meant to last a long time so when it's not eaten then it just sits there until a species consumes it. As the years go by the garbage patch isn't getting any small it keeps getting bigger. in a study that was conducted in early 2018 they found that the great pacific garbage patch is 4 to 16 times bigger now. Not only is plastic getting ingested but animals are getting stuck in plastic nets and plastic rings. Sea turtles are affected the most by the plastic rings because they are getting stuck in them and there is no way out of them so their body ends up growing with the plastic rings around them. Which in some cases if the plastic rings are in the wrong spots can eventually cause deaths to many sea turtles.
