my name is boyan slat, and i'm the founder and ceo at the ocean cleanup. ings that we do. on one hand, we clean up the legacy pollution in these ocean garbage patches. we developed these very long u—shaped barriers, that we pull forth at a very slow speed so that it's safe for marine life, and filters out the plastic, retains that, and then every few days we take the system out vertically, we take the plastic to land for recycling. the current system that we have out there, 800 metres in length, but already it has cleaned up almost 200,000 kilos of plastic, which is 0.2% of the whole great pacific garbage patch. we are still developing the next generation of cleaning technology we call system 03. we're deploying that in the summer of 2023. we are making the system three times as big, so 2,400 metres. this will clean up at thrice the rate. and then our models show that if we deploy roughly ten of those systems, we can actually clean up most of the great pacific garbage patch by the end of the decade. so rivers really are the arteries that carry trash from la

designed to move it around on the ocean floor to look for hot spots where microplastics are either most likely to accumulate or most toxic plastics are, so we can concentrate cleanuplp you detect microplastics in the ocean, how does that work? >> this camera i use to find the microplastics. it is mostly looking for two things, looking for unnatural colors that are most likely to be found on the plastics and that might not see in a natural ocean environment. things like bright green or orange. and it is able to avoid a lot of maine creatures like you can see this shell is avoiding because it is designed to not look at these marine organisms and only focus on plastics. >> michael: i don't know how you did that. only detects plastics? >> yes. >> michael: we were in easter island and did a thing about microplastics in the ocean. this is important for the future of everyone and she wants to go to mit. i have a feeling you are on the path to get there. the people at educational insight heard what you are doing and want to help support what you are doing. they want to give you $1500 to the deep plastic initiative. >> my gosh. >> michael: is that going to help you? >> wow
