First Ocean Cleanup Setup(System 001) Deployed at the Great Pacific Garbage Patch

***A Great News***
### Mankind's first Ocean Cleanup Expedition System 001 is finally deployed.
For those who don't know what System 001 is:
> System 001 intends to prove the concept of The Ocean Cleanup's technology in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the world's largest accumulation zone of ocean plastics - situated halfway between Hawaii and California.

*[(Source)](https://www.surfertoday.com/environment/14654-system-001-by-ocean-cleanup-deployed-at-the-great-pacific-garbage-patch)*

After 15 days of successful hydrodynamic trials and tests conducted 350 nautical miles offshore, System 001 travelled 1000 nautical miles to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch where the final cleanup operation will start.

### Great Pacific Garbage Patch
[The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the world’s largest collection of floating trash—and the most famous. It lies between Hawaii and California and is often described as “larger than Texas,” even though it contains not a square foot of surface on which to stand.](https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2018/03/great-pacific-garbage-patch-plastics-environment/)
80,000 and 100,000 tonnes of plastic waste and other debris is currently floating in Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

### Time for the Startup
As per Official Statement by the project manager:
> We completed the closing line operation in one day, so it was a great work done by our offshore crew, and that means we are now fully operational.

Now with the start of cleanup operations the team will closely monitor the operations  for the first few weeks, to collect data for future improvements.
In next few months System 001 will capture plastic which will eventually be collected and recycled.

### Projected Impact
As per models, at full scale deployment(a fleet of 60 systems) will collect **50% of the plastic waste floating in Great Pacific Garbage Patch in just 5 years**.

I love that this project is finally in the water! I'm really excited to see the first data they release, and hopefully it will be close to what they have estimated. 

> As per models, at full scale deployment(a fleet of 60 systems) will collect 50% of the plastic waste floating in Great Pacific Garbage Patch in just 5 years.

I'm a bit skeptical about this. Don't get me wrong, I really like this project, but it does sound a little too good to be true. But let's hope I'm wrong, and that they are able to do this!
