After months of research, failures, and reconfigurations, and weeks spent at
sea traveling to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and back, The Ocean Cleanup’s
device—a 2,000-foot long floating tube that skims the surface of the water to
catch plastic trash—has returned to shore. And with it, it brought back 60
bags, sized one cubic meter, full of plastic trash, everything from fishing
nets to plastic bags to microplastics one millimeter in size.
