Meanwhile in River Klang, Malaysia 🇲🇾:

🙏❤🌍 Great work, Ocean Cleanup crew. Thank you for all you do.

What, if any, is the impact of removing the floating bio material such as drift wood, plant, ECT. along with the plastic?

Such plants are classified as waste, and some of them are an invasive species (e.g. floating water hyacinth) that are harmful to the ecosystems and can be beneficial to remove.

Ball!

@BoyanSlat The fact there's so much filth in our rivers and seas all over the world should shame us all.

Good work, does Malaysia have good recycling facilities?

Do the Malaysian government compensate this wonderful work?

@Elizabethbellll 👍

Why is this not a global legal standard yet? Great work guys, please keep it up ♥

unbelievable amount of floating garbage, probably plenty more has sunk to the bottom
