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.
