martinezlaura+FollowPlastic Trash Islands: Ocean Life’s New Hotspot?The Great Pacific Garbage Patch isn’t just a floating mess—turns out, it’s become a weird new neighborhood for ocean critters! Scientists found that dozens of coastal species are now living, growing, and even reproducing on plastic debris way out in the open sea. These plastic “islands” are letting creatures survive far from shore, mixing up marine life in ways we never expected. Wild, right? Our trash is literally changing the ocean’s ecosystem! #Science #GreatPacificGarbagePatch #OceanLife00Share
