Ocean clean-up

Boyan Slat, a young innovator, is leading a project called The Ocean Cleanup to remove plastic from the oceans. The project aims to deploy barriers in the ocean to capture plastic waste, starting with a test in the North Sea. The initiative addresses the severe impact of plastic pollution on marine life and ecosystems. Despite challenges and skepticism, Slat's team is testing the feasibility of large-scale ocean cleanup, with hopes of restoring ocean health within decades.
