How We Make Sure Cleanup Operations Are Safe for the Environment I System 03

System 03 is designed to catch plastic, not fish, and mitigation of any environmental harm is a priority in our cleaning operations. Our Environmental Manager Senior, Maíra Proietti, introduces how we ensure efficient cleanup operations in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch while keeping marine wildlife safe.

Very impressed with the efforts of this organisation, and l personally thank you for doing this incredibly important work. As regards what is collected its impossible not to shudder at the vast amount of fishing debris ie ropes and netting. Clearly the fishing industry is not playing by their rules.

[@ktinxx]

Every update gives me one more sliver of hope... If also the river systems could be multiplied in order to effectively address the 100 rivers at the root of the problem, the vision of plastic free oceans within my lifetime could turn from a mere dream into a tangible reality.

[@user-bv4zg3pg5e]

Yes!!!

[@RamblingRodeo]

I love these updates, explaining what they are doing, Nations around the world should be backing said project/organizations as they are apart of the problem and if we could have many of these ships pulling this stuff out, recycling it and putting that raw material back into economies that is a win win.... keep up the great work!

[@buzzinalong7163]

Not surprised by this video. This organization is actually doing ocean cleanup because they want to. So they are doing it right. Big thank you to all of them.

Always such a pleasure to see the amazing work you do - living in New Zealand we treasure our ocean and are super grateful for all the hard work that you do!!!!

[@wolfman3295]

It is so wonderful that you all are taking every precaution possible to not disturb marine life and also wonderful that Dolphins are riding in front of your ships and Whales are monitoring as well! Unfortunate another crew I think it was last spring or maybe earlier actually made a video proclaiming that the great pacific garbage patch was so small it didn't really exist anymore! So please try to make sure that all crew members on every operation are all very aware of what has been done in the past. Thank you all.

Thanks heaps for the up date. Would love to hear some statistics when we get updates. What sort of plastics, guesses on where they come from and some weird things you find. I really like hearing thing like that.😀

[@GeofCates8075]

If people are curious, their website is a fantastic resource for more details. The Ocean Cleanup. It answers all of those questions and more. Or obviously their other KZbin videos provide information as well

[@shadowgolem9158]

You might benefit from doing the plastic sorting at a table so you don't need to bend over as much. Also if you don't fill the sorting bins as full and take more trips it actually requires less energy and takes about the same time.

[@adriane7841]

With a conveyor belt of some sort to automate it a little bit

[@marlan5470]

They should apply the systems they use for processing fish at sea, complete with conveyor belts.

Can use AI automation to sort the plastics

Do you guys father statistic like on fishing nets ? Different areas must have different kinds of nets. There is always so many fishing nets..makes you wonder..ooo theres a bunch of holes..let it sink. I love watching these kinds of updates.. would love to see more

[@TimeTheory2099]

Thanks Oc teams 👍

[@ColinRichardson]

I wonder if you could setup reflective balls on each end of the ship and have a visual system on each ship watching each other.. Have it setup so each ship could do the maths of how far apart you guys are, which orientation relative to each other.. And basically have them monitor each other..

[@el_micha]

Don't you think they use GPS coordinates and radar systems for monitoring their positions? They're applying computational models and other technology that is far from a DIY-approach. There are scientists and engineers working on this since 10 years. Even if the system looks a bit simple on first glance…

[@ColinRichardson]

@@el_micha can you get orientation accurately like that? And also need constant network connection between the two. A bunch of reflective balls just make two passive systems that only need communication when massive divinations start to happen.

[@vitaliisincere5549]

I’m so excited about you guys. You’re doing such an amazing job without harm to the nature of

[@carolayala1841]

Thanks guys ❤🎉 there is hope!

[@edwardbyard6540]

Surely you’d just dump the plastic on another ship and immediately redeploy the net? You’ll need multiple systems collecting plastic 24/7 to make a dent in the plastic in our oceans. This is an amazing project 🎉🎉🎉

[@user-5ee3zk1w]

You should have a reality tv show with the crew on the ships.

[@GudasWorld]

TOC should look into Microwave plastic pyrolysis. The process could be providing fuel for your ships. No more sorting.

[@robbrenton9438]

True heros !! Humanity thanks you !!❤

[@truckerjim372]

Maybe you could employ a self controlled (drone) boat to take the plastic to shore in a similar way to combine harvesters unload to grain trucks whilst harvesting so that they don't need to stop until they do need to. Get the job done more efficiently.

[@weAreNotAloneHere]

Imagine multi billion super markets cared this much about plastic

[@Supernaut2000]

Wonderful work! At 4:20 (drone view) are those 3 Blue Whales that were in your area?

I want to work with you guys so bad, my main goal in life is to remove ocean plastics. I’m finishing my undergraduate degree and hopefully get to work at ocean clean up in the near future

[@michaelh5942]

Mal eine sinnvolle Organisation! Es wird gehandelt statt Geschwafelt! Top, 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ChrisBigBad]

So, do you find any animals in the waste on deck? Any messages in bottles yet? How much power does it take to pull the system - in KW e.g.? Could a solar-powered boat do it?

[@TEN-ve8mp]

Would be interesting if the ship that collects the plastic had an incinerator built in. This could be used to power the vessel with steam generation and would make the process more efficient.

[@WilliamHollinger2019]

That would be cool my county have a trash burning power plant.

[@loclnor]

Plastic fumes are toxic that is why they don't burn it.

[@ktinxx]

@TEN-v8mp I doubt that incinerating the plastic and thereby releasing the carbon contained in it into the atmosphere is the environmentally smart way to go... As far as I understand it, the organisation aims to recycle all the plastic collected. That's why they are painstakingly sorting it into categories. If they wanted to burn it, that would not be necessary.

[@TEN-ve8mp]

@@ktinxx I knew I would get this reply. But sorting the plastic, shuttling it here and there and then the energy required to melt it into new products has to have a much bigger energy requirement than burning on site. Big picture.

[@ktinxx]

​​@@TEN-ve8mp Actually, I do trust The Ocean Cleanup to have thoroughly explored all possibilities of how to handle the trash collected with the big picture in mind. Sometimes, there are factors involved that are hidden to the outside observer. 🤔

[@jamal1125]

What's the rate of replacement. Are you removing more then is added, will there be less more or the same amount of plastic when you come back next season.

As the amount of plastic recovered increases dramatically you may consider reprocessing of plastic to fuel, especially for your ships.

[@Vampus]

Why doesn't the system go back to trawling while they sort the plastic? I don't believe the vessels move faster enough while trawling to make it an issue for the sorting. Is that time needed to repair/reset the retention zone?

[@CubbyTech]

I'd like to see how the 'catcher' is removed from the system. Is another catcher installed while one is being emptied?
