The South Pacific Gyre is a large system of rotating ocean currents located in the southern Pacific Ocean. It is part of the global ocean circulation and plays a crucial role in regulating climate and marine ecosystems. The gyre is characterized by its slow-moving waters, which can lead to the accumulation of debris and pollutants. One notable feature of the South Pacific Gyre is the South Pacific Garbage Patch, an area where plastic and other waste materials gather due to the currents. This accumulation poses environmental challenges, affecting marine life and ecosystems within the gyre and beyond.
