Great job. Very impressive.

How significant is this effort in the grand scheme of things? Is it the most economical way to accomplish the goal? How many boats like this would be needed to take care of the problem within, say, a decade?

Fish are eating the microplastics and people consume the fish. It’s all a chain. Doesn’t it also trap fish and other sea life?

No one thinks about micro plastic from polyester clothing, Polyester is a plastic, it will not break down, millions of fibers end up as dryer lint and going down the drain to the ocean.

This is a band aid at best. Countries and individuals must become more responsible for trash that doesn’t get disposed of properly.

So that was the 100th bag of garbage collected?
@bababoy91
May 29, 2024 at 11:30 pm
It’s a band aid but they also have some smaller autonomous ones in multiple countries at the river source of the plastic pollution that flows into the oceans. Something is better than nothing.

What a great mission, great job protecting our green future. This is the wars that countries should fight and invest in this kind of tech to clean up our green planet 😊😊❤❤❤

They should go to Indonesia. Its getting dumped there by the ship load

This video didn’t cover the large scale they are operating at and the interceptor devices they have placed globally at the plastic hotspot rivers around the world to curtail the worse inflow of new trash. They really are doing some fantastic work. It saddens me to hear him affected by some punk kids, but it’s a truly great thing the effort they are putting into this.

Yep, that is definitely trash two times the size of Texas.

@EskWIRED I have watched many videos from Ocean Cleanup’s own YouTube channel and there was one not too long ago, in which they estimated how many more missions/ trips it would take them before they would consider the Pacific Garbage Patch clean ( but I have forgotten the details, you will need to check their channel) . Their focus has turned somewhat away from the cleanup and more toward preventing plastic reaching the ocean in the first place by putting garbage interceptors at the mouth of polluting rivers. Which seems like a very reasonable plan and seems like it is being embraced by many countries around the world.

Thanks. So they themselves realize that net boats are inefficient. The idea of putting nets across rivers sounds good. How do I catch the plastic without catching boats?

Amazing work, the fishing industry has a lot to answer for.
Nearly all of this is fishing related.

agreed – also what the world really needs is Dianna Cowern to receive a complete healing and join us again making sharp, informative (bright eyed) videos to help teach the young ones about physics and science and planet stewardship. She could mention aspects of The Ocean Cleanup tech and have us all clapping and hopeful.

I am SO thankful for those involved in the Ocean Cleanup. Obviously it isn’t the end goal.. we want to stop dumping it in there in the first place. We want better efforts by every level of every government to focus on bettering our impact on the Earth. BUT… those are lofty goals considering how disorganized, shortsighted, and selfish we often tend to be. I hope that we can continue this process of plastic extraction, with MORE funding from more countries… and continue to give these heroes more coverage and focus and respect.

Great work as usual- FYI this video encouraged me to set up a monthly donation

Great job. Just wondering, how and who pays you ?
@CNET
May 30, 2024 at 8:54 am
They are a nonprofit so it’s private donations and government grants.
