The Ocean Cleanup system isn't capturing plastic as planned

The Ocean Cleanup's System 001 aims to clean half of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in five years and achieve a 90% reduction by 2040. The system, a 2000-foot-long floater with a 10-foot-deep skirt, is designed to trap plastics. However, it faces challenges such as slow movement and wave creation, which hinder plastic collection. To address these issues, the organization plans to increase the system's size by 25% to improve efficiency.
