Ocean Cleanup Project heads for Great Pacific Garbage Patch

The video discusses the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and the efforts of The Ocean Cleanup project to address plastic pollution. System 002, a U-shaped barrier, is designed to capture ocean plastic while allowing marine life to pass underneath. The project aims to remove 90% of floating ocean plastic by 2040. Previous systems faced challenges, such as slow movement and structural issues, leading to design improvements like inflatable buoys and parachutes to control speed. The video highlights the environmental and economic impacts of ocean garbage patches.
