I just gotta say, there isn't another environmental group on the planet that i have seen so hopeful and so integrated with the local communities as the Ocean Cleanup. I am hopeful that you will continue to gain traction around the planet to see even more of these interceptors deployed and provide a measure of hope for communities worldwide. Blessings!

These young People are INSPIRING! Jamaica is a Pearl on this planet! I love your work, I love these people!
-
It's so great that solutions like this finally exist but I hope there will come a time we won't need it anylonger.
-
It always amazes me how people, in general, really just don’t care. They just toss their trash where ever they are standing. Thank you for creating these processes and all that you all do
-
It's one thing to look at the problem and shake your head. It's another thing to do something about it. Great work by everyone involved.
-
holy shit, the stream of bottles is just endless.
-
Thank God for these people helping to clean the oceans.
-
❤ The Ocean Cleanup! This is a great system. It is amazing how much trash flushes into our environment during big rains. Hopefully people will start taking care of the issues upstream and the plastic pollution will become less and less.
-
Stopping the garbage before it hits. The ocean is a good start, but the garbage is never going to stop unless they can stop people from dumping it into the river. It's possible people might even dump more because they know it's getting cleaned. Government and public education needs to be involved. Great work tho.

Boyan Slat is my hero and I love everyone who supports and works with him in his efforts to clean up after everyone else!!!! Thank you!
-
Working with locals, establishing knowledge and opportunities... Wow. Great work.
-
Crazy how clean the water looks past the barrier
-
YES this is one of the best looking sites on the planet - well done Jamaica for letting The Ocean Cleanup team help out - your country will be even more beautiful and it is already ridiculously gorgeous - then you have the employment for locals which is another massive boast in the current economic environment - all round great start to the year!!!
-
Amazing work guys! This will be standard practice across the world's rivers and gullies in 10-20 years surely.
-
At least there's a couple of humans doing the right thing. Thanks for your wonderful hard work Interceptor teams.

You are the absolute heroes in plastics from waters. Love you. Germany

Jamaica on the move .Becoming a role model to the world!

As a Jamaican, born, raised and living here, it’s so depressing to see how poorly our people treat her. Jamaica is beautiful island and I only wish people would treat her with as much love and respect as I do. I grew up seeing the trash, seeing these gullies. It always breaks my heart. Knowing there are people out there who care has got me here crying. Thank you isn’t enough, but it’s all I got. Hopefully we can encourage and teach more people to treat her right too, bless up 💚💛🖤
-
Notice a lot of pride here. Well done team!

Great common sense approach that Ocean Cleanup is doing! It looks years to get it going but now they're all over the world
