Gard保赔协会在近期的一则通函中介绍了海洋清污计划(The Ocean Cleanup)，该计划由20岁的 Boyan Slat创立，为解决海洋塑料污染问题，开创了具有革命性的项目。
介绍
塑料污染是海洋垃圾的主要组成部分。规模庞大并且威胁日趋严重。积极解决这一问题面临着巨大的挑战，因为收集大量塑料碎片，将耗费很长的时间并需付出高昂的成本。海洋清污计划则另辟蹊径。区别于传统的收集塑料方式，海洋清污计划致力于开发技术，以长期浮动障碍物组成阵列，利用洋流的自然运动收集塑料。这种方法的优点是规模大、高效、环保。

Seas of plastic: The Ocean Cleanup
Gard P&I club has issued a circular to introduce The Ocean Cleanup, which was founded by 20 year-old Boyan Slat, and initiates a revolutionary project to try to fix the problem of plastic pollution in the Oceans.
Introduction
Plastic pollution makes up the majority of marine litter. It is on a massive scale and is a growing threat. Initiatives to combat the problem face the challenges that it would take too long and cost too much money to collect up the trillions of plastic pieces. The Ocean Cleanup has a different approach. Instead of going after the plastic, it is developing technologies involving an array of long floating barriers to let the ocean currents capture the plastic itself. The beauty of this approach is that it is large scale, efficient and environmentally friendly.
