Animals colonizing islands of floating trash, causing havoc

The video discusses the formation of Neo Pelagic communities, which are colonies of marine organisms thriving on floating plastic trash in oceans. These communities enable species to cross oceans, impacting coastal ecosystems. The floating colonies attract marine animals like fish and turtles, which often die from ingesting plastic or getting trapped in debris.
