A revolutionary floating dam that traps plastic bags, bottles and other waste choking the world’s oceans will be tested at sea for the first time next year.
The Ocean Cleanup Organisation will be installing a 328ft-long (100 metre) barrier segment in the summer of 2016 in the North Sea, 14 miles (23km) off the coast of The Netherlands.
Most ocean waste collection schemes use boats to scour for the plastic in which dolphins, seals and other sea creatures become entangled.
Ocean Cleanup’s barrier, however, uses currents…
