The end is in sight: stopping plastic pollution in the Gulf of Honduras

#TheOceanCleanup dropped an update on the Interceptor 021 installation... time to do some project stalking :)

One can see a smaller collection boom there as well. Wonder whether that is theirs and for sampling, or an indepedent project.
Wasn't 4ocean also operating a boom in that location?

Linda Mhako is raising funds for cleaner oceans

I am raising funds for The Ocean Cleanup to clean up ocean plastic. Please help me reach 200 euros by donating anything you can. In addition to this, I will also be covering some ground in my activity. I would greatly appreciate it if you would share this with your network - the more people see it, the bigger the impact! Thanks for your support Linda Mhako.

“This week representatives from states, international organizations, major corporations, campaign groups and industry leaders – as well as The Ocean Cleanup – will gather for INC4: the fourth (of five) meetings to agree on an UN Global Plastics Treaty which could be transformational for our oceans.”

Global Plastics Treaty: Why Legacy Plastic Cleanup Is Essential | Updates | The Ocean Cleanup

Negotiations on a Global Plastics Treaty continue this week in Ottawa, Canada. The Ocean Cleanup hopes for an ambitious treaty which addresses plastic pollution throughout its whole lifecycle, including legacy plastic already in the marine environment – from rivers, beaches and coastlines all the way to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

“Interceptor 006 is located in the Rio Las Vacas, around 16 km north of Guatemala City. The Rio Las Vacas is a tributary of the Rio Motagua – one of Guatemala’s main waterways and a significant contributor to plastic emissions into the Gulf of Honduras and the Caribbean Sea.

“Waste management challenges mean municipal and sanitary waste from Guatemala City is washed into the Rio Las Vacas during heavy rains, with this waste then flowing into the Rio Motagua and towards the coast.”

The Ocean Cleanup System 03: Harvesting since April 25, 2024

353,520 kg of trash removed in total

“System 03 is 2.2 km (~1.4 miles) and was deployed for the first time in August 2023. We have been gradually extending and improving to reach this stage, transitioning from System 002 since July 2022. Operating at this length requires its learning process for the crew offshore and onshore. These learnings will be incorporated into our planning for the next steps and future scale-up plans for more systems in the patch. Stay tuned for more updates on our social media and on the website.”
