Abstract
Center of Social Science Research Student Paper Award Winner (2022), (short paper winner). Ecologist and marine/fishery biologist Simon Reddy states, "the weight of ocean plastics
will exceed the combined weight of all fish in the seas by 2050" (2018). The matter of climate
change and surrounding concerns are often brought up but continuously brushed off by
individuals and countries alike. However, after digging deeper into this subject, it quickly
becomes apparent how serious this is. This essay explores the severity of plastic pollution in the
oceans, explains what the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is, how this issue is impacting both
people and animals, and possible solutions, specifically the work being done by the Ocean
Cleanup.
