The Massive Project to Clean Up the Ocean With a Two-Kilometer Screen
“In August 2017, the project finalized the design for a u-shaped buoy made of high-density polyethylene nearly two kilometers in length, with a screen extending a few meters below. The system will be positioned based on a series of data points like ocean currents, weather, and location of the plastic and nets. These data points are fed into an algorithm to determine the buoy’s ideal point of deployment.
At this point the system will be free to float autonomously, meaning it needs no source of power and has a much longer lifespan when compared with a fixed structure. Also, because most plastic floats on the ocean’s surface, the buoy will be able to work effectively without impeding sea life…”

Projected to clean it up in 5 years!!! Wow! It’s also great that more and more people are making an effort to use less plastic. #bethechange.
Yes you’ll be able to be done in hours
. . . . made of high-density polyethylene nearly two kilometers in length . . .
Something tells me there’s just gonna be more plastic in the Ocean.
Protects with mediu very important.
No Like poluation !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
