Answer:

Ocean plastic can persist in sea surface waters, eventually accumulating in remote areas of the world’s oceans. Here we characterise and quantify a major ocean plastic accumulation zone formed in subtropical waters between California and Hawaii: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP). Our model, calibrated with data from multi-vessel and aircraft surveys, predicted at least 79 (45–129) thousand tonnes of ocean plastic are floating inside an area of 1.6 million km2; a figure four to sixteen times higher than previously reported. We explain this difference through the use of more robust methods to quantify larger debris. Over three-quarters of the GPGP mass was carried by debris larger than 5 cm and at least 46% was comprised of fishing nets.

Why is it important to keep the verb tense consistent when writing?
inysia [295]
Verb tense consistency is important when writing because it gives cohesion to the sentences and avoids confusing the readers.

Verb tense use gives the message to the readers about the time of the action or verb. It may have happened in the past, it is happening now, or it will happen in the future.
