The Ocean Clean-Up is a project aimed at removing plastic waste from the world's oceans. Founded by Boyan Slat in 2013, it uses advanced technology to collect debris, particularly in areas like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The initiative focuses on both cleaning existing pollution and preventing future waste from entering the ocean. The project employs floating barriers and specialized vessels to gather plastic, which is then recycled or repurposed. By targeting large concentrations of waste, the Ocean Clean-Up aims to significantly reduce ocean pollution and protect marine life, contributing to a healthier ecosystem for future generations.
