Scientists are preparing to launch the world’s first machine to clean up the
planet’s largest mass of ocean plastic.
The experts believe the machine should be able to collect half of the detritus
in the patch—about 40,000 metric tons—within five the past few weeks they
have been busy welding together giant tubes that will sit on the surface of the sea
and form the skeleton of the machine,creating the largest floating barrier ever made.
The system,originally dreamed up by ,will be shipped out this summer to
the Great Pacific Garbage Patch,between Hawaii and California,and which contains
an estimated 1.8 trillion pieces of will be the first ever attempt to
tackle the patch since it was discovered in 1997.
