HOW TO CLEAN AN OCEAN by Victor and Guillaume

How to clean an ocean?

The pollution of the ocean is the biggest problem of the world


Boyan Slat project about oceanic pollution is a relevant solution to face the problem.
His project is so important because the ocean are polluted a little more every day. 269000 tons of plastic garbage is on the ocean surface.




He wants to install a gigantic floating barrier on the ocean to collect a lot of plastic garbage. He wants to build this barrier since he has seen the garbage patch in the Mediterranean sea. He would like to introduce the gigantic floating barrier in the north Atlantic in real life in 2020.




The financing of this project is a crowd funding. He has got 80.000$ to create his barrier. 70 scientists and engineers in the world work in this project. In the beginning he didn't have a lot of sponsor for his project but in March 2013 a ted talk conference has changed everything. In the conference he talked about the ocean pollution and he present the Boyan Slat project.

A lot of Marin species die because of the garbage patch which is so imposing.
75% to 85% of the ocean pollution comes from the earth.
The ocean pollution destroys the sea life because fish is hampered by with this plastic garbage and he die. The ocean is polluted a little more every day. In the ocean each second 634000 tons of garbage are rejected.
