The Ocean Cleanup launches a 2000 foot floating boom to trap plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch between California and Hawaii. Founder Boyan Slat, funded by donors including Marc Benioff and Peter Thiel, expects to deploy 60 barriers by 2020 to remove up to half the patch in five years while monitoring wildlife safety and system performance.
