Hey Grace:)
The 3 things i learned from your presentation are as follows:
1. There is a big garbage patch in the middle of the ocean.
2. Its the size of Texas!
3. The toxins in the water will soon kill many species of marine life.

The 2 things i found interesting are below:
1. That ocean pollution in the Pacific gets worse every year.
2. By recycling, you can help the contamination process occurring right now!

The 1 thing i want to know more about is first of all, to see the garbage patch, and i would like to know more on how much ocean pollution increases every year!
Good job grace :)

I learned that if we don't decrease the amount of litter, then the garbage patch will expand. Also if we don't stop littering that more species of animals will die. If we continue littering then the whole ocean would be just a garbage dump and there oceanic animals would have no place to live. I found that when animals die there is plastic in there stomach from them eating it. Also I found that what kind of substances like pacifiers, shoes, etc. is found in the garbage patch was interesting. What I would like to know more about is if all the animals living in the ocean will go extinct from the garbage patch.
