When I was 6 the movie Wall-E came out. I was fascinated by the thought of the world piling up with trash and humans moving to another planet. Much to my relief, my mom reassured me that it was just a movie. It looks like the world that Wall-E lived in could be a global reality, until Dutch aerospace engineer and inventor Boyan Slat raised over 2 million dollars to fund his new invention, The Ocean Vacuum. Since we live in a world where over 5 trillion pounds of plastic litter the ocean this is vital to the health and longevity of the planet. Through this essay I will show you what the Ocean Vacuum is and how it works, identify current challenges, and examining future implications of this new technology.
First, let's talk about what The Ocean …show more content…
The major effect is a cleaner ecosystems. In the process of reversing the negative impacts humans played on the environment, this device could improve the ecosystem of the ocean. Without a doubt trash creates an unhealthy ecosystem for both humans and other organisms. Even the smallest changes in the amount of litter in the ocean would help, reversing the past and changing the future. If done correctly it could improve the cleanliness of the ocean, thus creating a much healthier ecosystem. Although, the trash won't completely disappear it will decrease the amount of debris in the ocean making it more livable for all organisms. The Ocean Vacuum can clean the ocean's plastic from spreading and causing further harm to species in the ocean ecosystem. As species are able to thrive, biologists and researchers can learn more about underwater life. By removing trash from the sea The Ocean Vacuum could prevent ecosystems and the animals from becoming extinct. Scientists will gain a better understanding of the full effect on how both underwater life and the impact of trash at a global level. Taking trash out of the environment will affect both the marine life and us. The unhealthy ecosystem for both us and life living in the ocean. This project is designed carefully and not use nets. They use screens allowing sea life to pass through, in turn saving much marine life thus creating a much healthier
