California’s “paper” wetland restorations? One small island, a vanished Delta Smelt, and a $39M fine expose what might be the biggest eco-cover-up in the Bay-Delta.

Yes, but focus on the garbage only first rather than atmospheric gasses.

Here is one of our latest extractions from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch can be cleaned in 10 years for 7.5B USD. The only thing standing between the world and a clean ocean is money. It’s time for action.

This year, we are scaling up our river operations. In the meantime... 💠 We are working on developing (drone and AI) technologies for plastic hotspot hunting in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch 💠 We continue to research the problem of discarded fishing gear to identify the right solution 💠 Once Interceptors are operational, we clean up legacy pollution on coastlines to return the environment to its original, pristine state and make sure stranded pollution doesn't return to the ocean
