Don, I like Cyberspace very much, but am not yet at the stage that a Google hit list actually represents reality: <I'll be darned...about 3,200,000 Google hits in 0.15 seconds for "Plastic Bag Pollution in the Ocean". >
One of my worries is witches drinking blood. I checked Google.... omg ... it's worse than I thought and worse even than plastic bags in the ocean: google.co.uk 3,400,000 hits in 0.19 seconds.
If you go to an actual ocean and look in the actual water, you will not find plastic supermarket bags. You will find other debris if you look in the right places. Debris in the ocean is rapidly in trouble. The ocean is full of life and before long, barnacles, algae and all sorts are latching onto anything in the water, sinking it, burying it in kilometres of sediment ready to be trundled across the ocean floor to a subduction layer.
The few plastic bags which get into the ocean will propel volcanoes millions of years from now after providing environmental nucleation sites for the biosphere. Little supermarket bag fish would evolve which would live inside the bags, protected from seagulls and other fish. Witches on the other hand, are up on dry land and lurking in a town near you. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
