It's these contributions which lightens my mood.
I'm quite sad that we need these systems in the first place, but it is great that some few tackle problems.
#TheOceanCleanup dropped an update on the Interceptor 021 installation... time to do some project stalking :)
One can see a smaller collection boom there as well. Wonder whether that is theirs and for sampling, or an indepedent project.
Wasn't 4ocean also operating a boom in that location?

Ïf we don't take out the large [plastic] objects out, it will become 'microplastic'. Much harder [near impossible] to clean up and with [unknown] health dangers.

#3 Every minute, a garbage truck of plastic is dumped in the ocean
#4 Plastic at the surface of the ocean represents less than 1% of the total amount of plastic in the ocean
#5 In 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish
#6 Ten of the world's rivers are responsible for 90% of the plastic pollution in the ocean
#7 Plastic in the ocean comes predominantly from landbased sources
#8 Plastic in the ocean mostly comes from developing countries
#9 More than a third of plastic waste ends up in the ocean
