Is it me or there are no mention of the other patches?

There are five gyres to be exact—the North Atlantic Gyre, the South Atlantic Gyre, the North Pacific Gyre, the South Pacific Gyre, and the Indian Ocean Gyre—that have a significant impact on the ocean.

The "great patch" seems to be the North Pacific Gyre so, only four to go after this one?
