Work offshore doesn't stop: here's the footage of one of the latest plastic extractions in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Our offshore crew is currently in the patch with System 03 to continue the cleanup; you can track their exact location here: https://theoceancleanup.com/dashboard/#system03. | The Ocean Cleanup

78th plastic extraction in fhe Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and possibly the last extraction with System 002/C as the crew prepares to extend to our biggest system yet - System 03. #theoceancleanup #plasticpollution

Have you heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? It's a gyre of plastic debris in the north-central Pacific Ocean — the largest accumulation of plastic in the world. In fact, the oceans are so overwhelmed with plastic pollution that if the Great Pacific garbage patch were a country, it would be the 19th largest in the world.
