“It is commendable that The Ocean Cleanup feasibility
report brings together a vast array of concepts and disciplines
that are brought across in an ordered and understandable
way. The summarized description of the
oceanography associated with the subtropical ocean
gyres, where plastics are believed to be concentrated, is
accurate, albeit it being generalized. The summary provides
a good starting point of knowing where to focus the
core of the project. Before full project implementation, I
would suggest that more regionally specific analysis is
completed on the gyres that The Ocean Cleanup intends
to target, as this would provide efficiency to the cleanup
process.”
