The Ocean Cleanup, a nonprofit organization, has made significant strides in addressing the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Six years ago, two ships were deployed to the area to develop technology for removing ocean plastic. These ships have now returned to San Francisco Bay, showcasing the success of their mission. Boyan Slat, the founder of The Ocean Cleanup, announced that humanity now possesses the technology to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in a fast and affordable manner. The organization estimates that the cleanup could be completed in 10 years at a cost of $7.5 billion. Additionally, a floating rubbish bin has been introduced to collect trash from the ocean. Bay Area scientists have also contributed to solving the world's plastic problem. The initiative has garnered widespread attention and support, highlighting the potential for large-scale environmental restoration.
