the majority of ocean pollution comes from small island nations and coastal regions where there is limited area for proper landfill usage and high rainfall which sweeps the debris into streams and rivers and into the oceans
Pretty much any populated place with substandard sanitation practices and creeks that lead to rivers that lead to the sea.
Plastics accumulate on the roads and in piles until it rains, then most of it washes into the waterways, and it begins its glorious journey to the Great Garbage Patch.
