Abstract :
According to recent scientific expeditions to the Pacific, there forms a so-called "Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch" caused by the ocean gyre. It breaks the balance of original marine ecosystem, and at the same time, part of the "Garbage Patch" provides microorganism with some stated biological conditions. Actually, debris and microorganism form a new ecosystem. In this passage, I study the evolution of every group included in this new ecosystem with a set of equations and come up with some solutions to the serious problem the earth is facing with now, by simulating what will happen if we change the current situation of the Pacific, with certain data provided.
