Crew Return from Offshore: Results, Catch, Plans for Trip 2 | Cleaning Oceans | The Ocean Cleanup

Описание: It's a wrap for the first test trip of System 002. We are about halfway through the tests for System 002, aka Jenny. In total, Jenny was operational in the water for approximately 120 hours and harvested about 8.2 metric tons of trash. Subscribe to our channel: https://bit.ly/371k8sN

Over the past 6 weeks offshore, we have tested operational handling (deployment, recovery, extraction), environmental towing, optimum towing speed, emergency contingency, and research sampling. Both vessels are now back in port preparing to go back to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch for test trip 2 when we plan for longer-duration test runs.

Here is a wrap-up report of the first test trip with System 002 from our onboard engineers.

Trash accumulates in five ocean garbage patches, the largest one being the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, located between Hawaii and California. If left to circulate, the plastic will impact our ecosystems, health, and economies. Solving it requires a combination of closing the source, and cleaning up what has already accumulated in the ocean.

The ocean is big. Cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch using conventional methods – vessels and nets – would take thousands of years and tens of billions of dollars to complete. After fleets of The Ocean Cleanup systems are deployed into every ocean gyre, combined with source reduction, The Ocean Cleanup projects to be able to remove 90% of ocean plastic by 2040.
