You guys just need to keep posting B roll footage like this, I can watch this all day

[@redpepper313]

Ocean garbage cleaning videos will become like pimple popping or dog grooming videos.

[@judjudersawn2596]

Seriously they need to see this comment. I can watch this all day

[@pratimakamathmenon2386]

Me too

[@Leila550]

I agree - I don’t know why there are so few videos, why they are so short, and why they are posted so infrequently. They really don’t understand how satisfying it is to watch these - I watch overgrown lawn mowing videos that are an hour long and the guy raises $ all the time from them, like $200k for a cat rescue. It this group posted longer and more frequent videos bet they’d have a lot more $$$ on their hands from weirdos like us

[@danielwhyatt3278]

Wow. Now this was really great footage right here. Simple, but effective. Showing the system, showing it actually working on a larger scale, and then coming up to show the beauty of the ocean and why this is being done. All without saying a single word or single bit of text. We need more stuff like this. Well done Ocean Cleanup.

[@Zommari]

Beside this we need something els and this is that people stop troeng trash where ever tey like with out even thinking that this is not ok! In the way some people have in mine. Who care tey gonna clean after me. When tey see videos like this.

[@jmow-t5023]

Showing they are the only ones there too.

[@Elektrotechniker]

@@Zommari You get the award for the worst spelling that I have encountered in over a year 👏🏼

[@Been.Here.Since.2007]

That's not even big enough to clean a lake 😂😂😂😂 But "cost" millions.

[@steeldriver5338]

@@Been.Here.Since.2007 That's more then big enough to clean a lake, but that's besides the point. The fact that they're doing something is more then enough. According to them, they've already removed more then 200k KG of plastic this year. You're also ignoring the work they're doing elsewhere as well, namely the capture of plastic at the source. And every cent is well spent imo.

[@faisalmir9300]

The best thing that can happen to us and our future generations. God bless you guys. I ❤ my Mother Earth.

[@neontomo]

I would watch a god damn daily vlog of this stuff. Just you guys, collecting trash, sorting trash, talking about trash. We need to see this stuff, the progress and the hope it gives. ❤‍🔥

Also the awareness it creates to not pollute our water bodies be it ocean, river or lakes.

[@MRJimRoger]

It's nice to get some good news every now and then aswell. Thanks for making a change, Ocean Cleanup

[@curiousbystander9193]

unfortunately it is equivalent to giving antidepressants for depression after decades of feeding polluted food and destroying people's biomes, with no intention of not feeding polluted food.... so you know the rest..... the boat must keep floating to keep up with the animal behavior.

@@curiousbystander9193no reason to be a defeatist. There’s always hope to fix shit. Necessity is the mother of invention.

[@darkshadowsx5949]

@@curiousbystander9193 its better than not doing anything and letting it float around forever.

[@curiousbystander9193]

@@darkshadowsx5949 I agree, but without other changes it's futile.... industry has no intention of changing and humans are dirty

[@Thyalwaysseek]

Cleaning up plastic rubbish to create more plastic rubbish...yeh great news!

[@DoctorBob1]

I am always surprised at the size of the large items that are just floating around our seas. Great work all who are involved in this amazing clean up.

[@claymonsterpottery]

I’m also fascinated by how much or our waste floats. What percent sinks to the bottom?

[@TheMijman]

@@claymonsterpottery Probably most of it. Most metal related, dense plastics, things weighed down by water, a lot of fabric will eventually sink... You're seeing a lot of stuff that floats, simply because you only see the stuff that floats.

[@darkdragonnasir]

id love one of these that shows everything from start (deploying the net) to finnish (recycling the plastic)

[@BodyFixExercises]

I find it therapeutic watching this. Relaxing & rewarding. Thanks for sharing. And more importantly, doing this!!

[@rosegilliland1845]

What you are doing is wonderful for our oceans. Thank you for making them not only clean for us but also all that live there. People should think before littering.

[@MrOrgeston]

Littering has nothing to do with it. In parts of China and India, plastic is disposed of just by throwing it in the ocean and waterways.

[@Thyalwaysseek]

It's actually not really making any difference at all, it's basically equivalent to them taking out a teaspoon of plastic while at the same time 100 truckloads of it are being dumped into our rivers and oceans.

[@michaeltichonuk2176]

Outstanding performance! Excellent presentation! Thank you for your hard work and efforts!

[@noeraldinkabam]

They only go out in the ‘calm’ season.

[@mpokoraa]

during stormy weather they do things

[@theoceancleanup]

Because the cleanup systems are meant to stay in the patch for long periods of time, it is important that our systems can withstand the forces of the ocean. We will continually monitor the loads in the system and adapt the speed and span to lower the loads in the case of rough seas. We will also monitor weather forecasts and plan a trajectory to avoid storms, and by understanding the patch climate, we can plan to operate in less critical locations. In the case of a particularly severe storm, the system can be temporarily withdrawn from the operation.

Hey! That's my bucket lid! I'd recognize it anywhere. Some jerk stole it out of my sabot at a dock in Dana Point, September 23, 1979. ...and then the thief just threw it in the ocean. He wasn't just a thief, but a polluter as well. Where do I write to get my bucket lid back? That was my favorite lid. I used it on my bait bucket, which died several years later. Seriously, fascinating video. Amazing how calm some of those spots in ocean can be. Thanks for sharing. More importantly, I think this is a worthy project.
