The Ocean Cleanup is a foundation that develops technologies to extract plastic pollution from the oceans and prevent more plastic debris from entering ocean waters. The organization was founded in 2013 by Boyan Slat, a Dutch inventor-entrepreneur. The Ocean Cleanup has received over $2.2 million in crowdfunding〔(INDEX: Design Award Aims to Solve the World’s Problems, a Few at a TimeLink text ), NYtimes.com retrieved Oct.29th 2015.〕 and financial contributions from large sponsors including Salesforce.com chief executive Marc Benioff.〔(Researchers sample enormous oceanic trash vortex ahead of clean-up proposal ), Reuters.com retrieved Oct.28th 2015.〕 The foundation’s headquarters are in the city of Delft, the Netherlands. ==Technology==
The removal of plastic debris on the open seas is still in its infancy. Some initiatives, such as Project Kaisei, have used ships with nets to catch plastics, primarily for research purposes. The Ocean Cleanup proposes a larger-scale, passive method of removing marine debris in or near the ocean gyres by means of long networks of floating barriers, anchored to the ocean floor. These V-shaped barrier networks are designed to interact with natural ocean currents, funneling plastic debris towards a central point where the plastic can be extracted by a platform and stored for transportation and recycling.〔(Could A 62-Mile Floating Wall Clean Up the Ocean? ), Citylab.com retrieved on Oct.28th 2015.〕 The Ocean Cleanup calls this barrier technology the Ocean Cleanup Array.〔(The Technology ), Theoceancleanup.com retrieved on Oct.28th 2015.〕
