![]() A cork line above the skirt prevents overtopping and keeps the skirt afloat. ![]() The floater provides buoyancy to the entire system, while the skirt prevents debris from escaping underneath and leads it into the retention system, or cod end. Hydrogen continues to generate waves of political support, with 25billion of US taxpayer money now available for new hydrogen hubs and demonstration projects. The system consists of a long floater that sits at the surface of the water and skirt that hangs beneath it. Once trapped in a gyre, the plastic will slowly break down into microplastics and become increasingly easier to mistake for food by sea life. ![]() A significant percentage of the plastic that enters the oceans from rivers and other sources during a transfer that can take many years, drifts into large systems of circulating ocean currents, also known as gyres. The Ocean Cleanup deploys similar river trash collection systems, but the group still sees a place for cleaning up the open ocean. Solving it requires a combination of closing the source, and cleaning up what has already accumulated in the ocean. If left to circulate, the plastic will impact our ecosystems, health, and economies. The collaboration is in line with Nokia’s enhanced Environmental. If no action is taken, the plastic will increasingly impact our ecosystems, health, and economies. The Ocean Cleanup is probably best known for its efforts to clean the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an endeavor the company’s young founder Boyan Slat started pursuing in 2013 after a TED talk. Espoo, Finland Nokia has announced it will deploy private wireless connectivity, network edge equipment and analytics for The Ocean Cleanup, an international non-profit project working to develop and scale technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic. The Ocean Cleanup is non-government engineering environmental organization based in Netherlands, that develops technology to extract plastic pollution from the oceans. A portion of this plastic travels to ocean garbage patches, getting caught in a vortex of circulating currents. The project released an app called The Ocean Cleanup Survey App, which enables others to survey the ocean for plastic, and report their observations to The Ocean Cleanup. Every year, millions of tons of plastic enter the oceans, of which the majority spills out from rivers. Boyan Slat, the creator of the Ocean Cleanup project, tweeted that the 600 metre-long (2,000ft) free-floating boom had captured and retained debris from what is known as the Great Pacific Garbage. In May 2017, it issued a press release stating that it successfully raised 21.7 million USD in donations since last November bringing TOCs total funding. We develop advanced technologies to rid the oceans of plastic. Trash accumulates in five ocean garbage patches, the largest one being the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, located between Hawaii and California.
