How Can We Clean Up the Oceans?

Plastic pollution is a major environmental issue, with millions of tons entering oceans annually. This affects marine life, as animals ingest or become entangled in plastic. The Ocean Cleanup project, led by Boyan Slat, aims to tackle this by using floating barriers to collect debris.

Despite challenges, efforts to clean and prevent ocean plastic are crucial.
