The impact of man-made debris on ocean ecosystem has not only captured the attention of the scientific community but the general public as well. Most efforts to document this marine debris have focused on beaches, coastal habitats and the surface water of the open ocean. While it is easy for us to notice evidence of human impacts where we live, work and play, there are remote areas on our planet that we rarely see. One of those places is the deep sea. There are Islands of Plastic floating in the ocean like one in the pacific.So far not much have don’t about it. Bacteria, which is usually helps in breaking down materials. One solution is biopolymers plastic or biodegradable plastic. Biodegradable plastic are the plastic industry’s way of trying to remedy the pollution problem, because biodegradable plastic is a petrochemical created plastic, where they add thing to the plastic to which is supposed to help them break down in the presence of certain bacteria. Plastic is simply not a natural substance. While chemists work to have plastics break down sooner, and the idea is that any plastic is biodegradable seems to be incorrect. More research is needed for plastic to be truly
