EXIGENCY FOR THE CONVENTION TO CURB THE MENACE OF GREAT PATCH

Abstract

The Northern Pacific Ocean has the long and wide Great Pacific Garbage Patch. For the sake of both human and marine health, it must be cleaned as quickly as feasible. Extreme loss will occur in our society if the expansion continues to grow. All actions will adhere to the sustainable development principle. Natural resources are vitally important for both the present and the next generations. Therefore, a new convention should be developed in compliance with the regulations of each state to clean up the patch and stop it from forming. As of now, only research into this patch is being conducted; no specific rules have been developed to address how to remove or prevent patches. Our society will be healthier and more successful in the years to come once the patch has been cleared.
