What you have is myodesopsia.
Basically they're the shadows of protein particles and debris in your vitreous jelly (the liquid within your eye). They can also be located near the retina. The most common cause of this is due to some deterioration in the vitreous humour, causing the breakdown of collagen. This results in more linear "floaters". Of course there are other causes of myodesopsia, but this is the most common cause.
But don't worry, it's usually harmless and most people have it anyway.

Yeah, this. It's pretty common and nothing to worry about. If you notice it changing, for instance getting worse or just any change though, it's best to get it checked out as it could mean something more serious. But right now you're probably fine :)

Awesome reply!
As it has been established, it isn't a very serious matter, but it's something that can be quite bothersome. If it's concerning you then I would definitely suggest talking to your eye doctor about it and let him or her take a look to make sure that's really what it is.

I have floaters as well - not to bad and as well as being caused by ageing
as has been said they can be there from birth from when your eyes form before being born.
This site gives more detail, maybe worth a read, but as always If you notice a change or feel its getting worse seek medical advice.
