The state of our oceans..

It's disgusting and no one wants to tackle it.
Ul government is frankly crape on marine conservation as well.

34 conservation zones were purposed. 14 have already been dropped, and the remainder still haven't been signed off on.

Conservation zones help everyone even fisherman. As it provides safe spawning areas that increase populations in a wider area.

However a bright kid is trying to clean it up himself, his company has already done many things. Now he's going to measure plastic contamination over several week period, that will gather mire data than we've ever gathered in the subject and he's going to deploy a test rig in 2016.

The Ocean Cleanup, founded by the Dutchman Boyan Slat (1994) who invented a method aimed at cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, today announced its next major project: the Mega Expedition, in which up to 50 vessels will collect more plastic measurements in three weeks than have been collected in the past 40 years combined.

The Mega Expedition will take place in August 2015, in which up to 50 vessels will cover a 3,500,000 km² area between Hawaii and California in parallel, creating the first high-resolution map of plastic in the Pacific Ocean.

And the guy who founded the company was born in 1994, time EU, and goverments helped out.
