The Ocean Clean Up Project

The ocean clean-up project is based on the idea that the ocean can basically clean itself with a simple invention. The invention uses a system of long floating arms attached to the seabed. The arms then use ocean currents and winds to passively transport plastic. The plastic is transported to a collection platform to be disposed of properly. Entanglement of sea life is impossible due to solid floating barriers. Therefore, this invention is ocean friendly and almost half the plastic contaminating the waterways can be removed.
