Marine biologists think bacteria have evolved to start eating that plastic. At some point, if there's enough plastic in the ocean and it is there long enough, then i would also imagine that there would be a evolutionary drive to just start utilizing thatasa resource and as a society. Is there anything we can do besides hoping for e bacteria to ao? I don't think we can do very much. If it's on the beach, for sure, pick it up, because you remove it from the ocean, in a sense.
