Do they just want to make the ocean a plastic waste dump? Clean up is needed!

Because places like india dump thousands of tons of trash in the ocean every day.

Haven't clean up efforts already begun? I recall reading something about that years ago. Not sure how successful they were, however.

ocean currents basically acting as a garbage collector and we still can't figure out step 2

We made this video a couple of years ago and I think it's still the best summary of how ocean plastic pollution works. Key points: - <0.1% of plastic waste actually makes it to the ocean. Ocean plastic pollution is a leakage problem. - 1% of rivers contribute roughly 80% of plastic inflow. - Most of these rivers are in coastal cities in middle-income countries, where people now have enough wealth but no adequate waste collection infrastructure. - High-income countries barely contribute to the problem. OECD countries consume 1/3 of all plastic but are responsible for <0.5% of ocean inflow. If you live in a rich country and don’t litter, your contribution to the problem is basically 0. - Nearshore and offshore plastic pollution are very different. Nearshore plastic pollution mostly originates from rivers and is not very persistent; after leaving river mouths, plastic tends to drift around for weeks to months before washing up on a coastline. Plastic in the offshore gyres mostly originates from the fishing industry and is very persistent; it is trapped indefinitely because there are hardly any coastlines in these currents to ‘catch’ this waste. This is why our catch from our Interceptors and our ocean cleanup system looks totally different.

Now thats a cleanup! In this bay we removed a total of 166 kg of ocean plastic. And that’s all washed up since November when we last cleaned here. A clear sign of just how much ocean plastic pollution we have on the west coast of Sweden.

An estimated 33 billion pounds of plastic enters the ocean every year, equivalent to roughly two garbage truckloads of plastic entering the ocean every minute. But it's not only rivers bringing it to the ocean: there are even people dumping it directly.
