How it work
*two large ships through the ocean catching floating ocean plastic
along the way.
*the long u-shaped barrier extends about 3 meters below the
surface and is completely open in the center allowing for the fish to
scape by simply swimming down below.
*The plastic gets pùshed to the center which acts a collection area.
(Retention zone) retention zone is a place where the garbage goes.
* In the end they are taken to the mainland to be recycled and sold
to be reused and it is incredible because it captures plastic of a
great diversity of sizes
