To rid the oceans of plastic, we need to not only clean up what is already out there but also stop new plastic from entering the ocean: we need to close the tap.
Rivers are the main source of ocean plastic pollution. They are the arteries that carry waste from land to the ocean. Our research found that 1000 rivers are responsible for roughly 80% of the pollution.
Working together with government leaders and private corporations, our goal is to tackle these 1000 most polluting rivers. How? By deploying Interceptors.
The Interceptor is The Ocean Cleanup’s answer for river plastic waste. It is the first scalable solution to prevent plastic from entering the world’s oceans from rivers.

The world would be lost without your efforts! Thank you all sooo much! We are in debt to you.
Have you seen LA lately?
It’s urine n stuff everywhere
The murder level is highest in history like war zone
They’re so bad I’m surprised they let this happen
I agree! So proud that someone is doing something.
Need volunteers, call me!
The FULL Pepsi bootle at 1:39 is the perfect symbol for the U.S.'s trash problem. Plastic packaging is a problem worldwide but WASTE is so easily preventable (but, sadly, so few of my fellow citizens care). Thank you The Ocean Cleanup!
And don't forget they have a partnership with Coca-Cola. They basically killed two birds with one stone in that scene. 😂
@@andersonpizolato8628 so coca cola is a clean company?! thats greenwashing, what they're doing!
@@andersonpizolato8628 Coca cola is helping, at the end of the day...
Time magazine needs to have Boyan as "Person of the Year", this guy deserves so much credit for his contributions to Planet Earth!!
Maybe they would if he was trans.
I was just thinking the same thing, better than some that were on the cover
Absolute legends. Surfer-diver here. Love all the work you dudes are doing.
I’m sure this has been said before… but HOW does this channel not have MILLIONS of subscribers !? Hats off to all who are out there saving our world. Thank you thank you thank you!! 🙏
Honestly I can see it having over a millions subscribers by the end of 2023. Tens of millions by 2024.
Around the 3 minute mark, the surfer guy is talking to one of the heroes of our time. Not sure how he remained calm. I would have been smiling from ear to ear, and I've met some pretty amazing people before, but Boyan is pretty dayummmm amazing!
It would be awesome to get a live feed going so locals can check in during rain events. Great work!
The true Rockstars of LA have just arrived! You should get a star on the walk of fame! They will see this will bloom into a permanent project. So proud of how far the team has come and know that 007 is far from the last interceptor. I think it is a beautiful thing to see in the community, and I certainly would welcome the opportunity to watch it work its magic. Thank you LA.
Every country in the world should be doing the same and help .keep up your great work 👏 take care
We need China to follow suit. It's really essential that they become more conscious of the environment. America and Europe has only just realised it and it's nearly too late.
Welcome to California Boyan. Thank you for what you have done for our oceans and coasts.
Thank you Boyton for chooseing Ballona Creek as a new spot ofr the interceptor 007 we are trilled to have it here.. As a native Los Angeleno i grew up sailing in and around Marina Del Rey and have watched past efforts to boom the debris from traveling into the ocean with little to no effort of stopping it. Your interceptor is a ellegant way of dealing with trash that ends up in the ballona creek with the interceptor as well as the rest of us we must make sure are trash is placed in the proper containers to stop trash ending up in our oceans, beachs and marina's which not only are effecting are marine life in a horable way but us as well, we must all be diligent on keeping our enviorment clean and safe for humans and marina life too.. L.A Rob
Tears of gratitude!
Fellow Colorado resident here…. Born and remain. Never been to the ocean in my life and don’t plan on it. It scares me. But it is one of the most beautiful and surreal parts of this planet so thank you from the bottom of my heart everyone who supports this clean up. I’ve been following Boyon since 2011 religiously. Sad that his videos don’t have millions of more views, but keep trucking on Boyan!!!
I love your proactive approach to this problem. I would love to see something like this set up on the Pearl River on the border of Mississippi and Louisiana possibly below the Bogalusa bridge.
I am sooo pumped up about this entire endeavor! Kudos to The innovators and those who invested! Can’t wait to see it when visiting LA!!
Thank you Ocean Cleanup. What is it about a great new idea like this that not everybody doesn't get behind and encourage. Something about a new idea that stops people from running with it. Stay safe
Love it!! Thanks for the work you do and for leading this front.
I’m so very grateful to you all!!!
🙏☯️🥰☯️🙏
I love that people like the way it looks, who really cares how it looks of it cleans up the water? You guys are doing a wonderful job. I would love to see these around the world until we come up with something better than plastic glass worked well for years, and instead of packing tape, we used to use string perhaps these could again be viable options
From Puerto Rico, thank you for your endless job!
I especially liked the fellow who commented about having these interceptors everywhere. Thank you
Bravo Ocean Cleanup!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Boyan! My home town. Been following you since the prototype. Love loves love from the south bay!
The Rock Stars of Ocean Cleanup, always amazing work. Secret trash agent 007 is a real beauty. This one should get some serious attention and bring awareness to how serious this problem is worldwide.
Im so sorry you are seeing the face of "merica ! It's appalling to me how 'Social media" has taken our psyche. I hope we will recover Keep up the excellent work team OceanCleanup! Yay team!! I hope to be a crew member in this lifetime Cheers! Much Love
i'm glad a place so famous is doing the right thing now. im glad the usa is doing more
Awesome works of geniuses! Thank you for our planet!
Thank you for saving our world you guys are amazing
Hi Dan! Great video. We visit often so i cdc be close to 007, can't wait for another big storm! Thanks Ocean Cleanup!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much!
You are doing great things. You are solving the biggest problem.
We need a few in San Diego!
Thanks you so much for your efforts. You can be really proud.
LA may be a very busy city, but clearly, it has its tranquil side.
Thank you for this update on the 007 interceptor, just fabulous, please share new video on where next new interceptor will be deployed when you know. Thank you all for what your doing.
Congratulations!! And thank The Ocean Cleanup Project!
Hi guys, please look into the kzn, South African beach closure cause of severe pollution. Our government has reopened the beaches a few times and it made people incredibly sick. Absolutely loving the work, love the plan to save the oceans!!❤
This is also very beneficial for local food security
Kelly’s comment is profound: “it is our job to filter out the garbage before it gets into the food system”
Honestly future about to learn how these guys saved most of the oceans one day while everyone didn’t take this cleanup seriously
Wow you guys are Super Heroes!
Amazing job your doing Ocean clean-up 👍😊
Brilliant, great to see it in action
Finally one in the US.
This is awesome to see this Interceptor installed, and how fitting to have 007 close to Hollywood, they kind of go hand in hand. I think along with the Interceptor, they should temporarily have the small boat Interceptor I saw you have in Jamaica I think it is, it could go around and do the local clean up downstream of the Interceptor now that it is in place and then you could always move the boat around to other harbours around LA. I think that would be a good idea.
DANKESCHÖN 🙏❤️RESPEKT
The Ocean Cleanup is only part of the solution. Stronger waste management policies and enforcement of environmental laws need to be implemented world wide. Eco is ok!
Thank you for your service. Perhaps you can install one in the Amazon in Iquitos, Peru at some point as well.
Amazing!
Min 4:50 “in partnership with The Coca-Cola Company” and they show Pepsi bottles in the water.
Besides that, great that one of the biggest plastic related companies in the world is involved but provably a 1% reduction on plastic use by Coca-Cola have more impact than 100 Interceptors
amazing!
Yes please put signs up letting people know what it is and where they can donate to y’all to help speed up the process
Great job. Would be very interesting with one of your videos when the trash is analyzed where it comes from. uS is not a poor country so it’s good info for all where to continue stop trash leaks.
Sad but true.
Nice job!
I'd love to see a real time camera of any one of the interceptors if possible!
The Dutch 💪🏼👌🏼
Small Giants 🇳🇱👏👏❤️🌷🌷🇳🇱
007 James Bond
This is great, we need a fleet of ships all over the West and East coast.
22/11/2022 SO SAD that this technology is required in a first world country, whose people are not being responsible for their own rubbish. The Ocean Cleanup is doing some fantastic work throughout the world to ensure of better environment.
Cool!
It just rained sporadically for a couple of weeks. It must've been really busy so early into completing the instillation.
Let's go.
Put one on the CA delta. Maybe at the mouth of the Sacramento River.
Nice ! 😊
Lets go! 🎉
There is currently a series on RUclips in Germany called 7vs.Wild. The series is very successful in Germany. There 7 people try to survive 7 days on a desert island. You can tell it's really a desert island because there's plastic everywhere on the shore. It's really frightening.
Ocean cleanup should put open source the interceptor and push countries around the world to copy it and install it.
Need Singapore on board too. Is it possible to pair off shore floating PV stations with the ongoing gyre missions? Regular sorties to collect & remove could be servicing platforms while on site at the gyre.
This type of stuff brings me hope.... as long as we dont nuke ourselves
Genius.
@oceancleanup you should probably venture into setting up interceptors on Indian rivers as the indian government had setup measures and a new ministry to curb pollution in Ganges and other major rivers.
I love how excited they are to have someone else clean up their garbage
😠 Indeed . . . One American billionaire could pay for the cost of all ten Interceptors that Boyan Slat, founder of of Ocean Cleanup, said were necessary in the initial stage of river cleaning. Calling Jeff Bezos from planet 🌍 . . . !
You get California.
Now we need to eliminate the production of chemical plastics and look at plant based alternatives
We are already eating micro plastic in our food so it's good to see where I live get one
Nice
Great work guys 👍
Any plans on coming to India with this tech?
Looking forward to having you here!
Will not work in
Can you please make compilations of your interceptor collecting trash, or make a 'trashiest moment', I would watch hours worth of content, is there a legal compilaction or a financial one?
Baltimore has the original ones - Mr and Mrs Trash Wheel installed in the harbor. You should visit their channel as they have a compilation of trash collected over the years. I think Interceptor 002 has a video up on what it's collected so far.
Looks very professional with this v shaped barriers, gonna work great, every major river should have one, and to Coca Cola when will you bring back glass bottles; it makes drinking much more enjoyable, think about that.
I wish you had job openings in the US.
I was surprised that any of the neighbors did not comment how we as people should do their part also ?
Just me that thought the "Supervisor" could do with some manners? Turning around taking photos during his speech got me triggered.
Keep up the amazing work!
Politicians are all the same, even when you're gifting them a golden egg ✌️
I agree, I got a bit annoyed. The main issue was that the rubbish is 'an eyesore'. Lady, they are cleaning up the rubbish that is YOUR JOB to clean up/prevent, at which you so far failed. 🙄
@@annaredding exactly 👍
Wonder what it's going to take to get the upstream sides of the creek clear of trash. Percentages of flooding it loose into the 007's intake flow vs manual labor.
I would be a blast if you showcase the aktual amount of garbage besides the interceptor on shore in a big transparent box. Good demonstration and education, what do you think?
How did it get so bad? The people groan "How much longer Lord?"
This is a very good start but the statistics that have been posted at the end of each OCN video lately are mind boggling! And what will it take for all those people who don't even blink when they throw their garbage and plastic into the earths waters and oceans and lands! And what about all those major corporations that also contribute to pollution?
What is the cost of installing one of these? (the interceptor and the installation cost) Thank you.
I think that polution needs to be a part of the education today, so that the young people understand what happens with the trash that they throw on the ground and not in a garbage bin. Too many people are careless with their trash. We also need better garbage disposal systems implemented all over the world. The garbage containers needs to be tightly closed so that the trash does not get blown out of them by the wind or dragged out by birds. And more laws should be put in place to ensure that garbage is handled properly everywhere, landlords must ensure that proper rubbish bins are available to tenants. The municipalities must construct facilities that does not allow trash to escape out into nature. I have been part of groups that have picked up trash that has blown outside the fence around the local garbage station, and most of that trash has been plastics. I also see people throw out garbage from their cars while they are driving, instead of leaving it in the car until they can throw it in a garbage bin.
❤
So happy to see you bringing an interceptor to one of the filthiest places in America. :)
Many congratulations and sincere thanks thanks. on your latest record. Perhaps ask for more funding and buyers for your recycled sunglasses
I love these initiatives but what worries me is that people will see it as "oh, don't worry, the boat will pick up my trash!"
Maybe my faith in people is jaded...
👍👍👍
Great job 👏. What are you doing with all the plastic that you get. Are you going to turn it into a biofuel?
Fines fines and more fines for anyone trashing the nature. Only when mentality will change, the problem will disappear. But also, start with manufacturers of the products that makes all this pollution. Use search to look for videos about recycling in Germany or other countries, very informative. Government should implement such kind of sorting at the source in US.
I'm glad you all weren't backed by FTX, we would all be screwed
Let's goo 👌💪 great job whole Ocean cleanup team 🤗 bet wishes from Croatia,your influence on this world is mind bending ❤ keep going
why did you guys bring back the 00? i get the 007 but has your objective changed also?
I have a question. I have seen in other interceptors that they don't block the water way so water vessels can go by. My question is... why is 007 blocking up the whole mouth to the river/creek?
i could be wrong cause i’m not part of the project but I’ve been by there many times. I think it’s the unique nature of this waterway. Ballona creek is used basically as a giant drain for a large section of LA. Most of the time the water flow is extremely low, almost nothing. Then when it rains a huge amount of water all comes down at once. The creek here is perfectly straight for a very long stretch, so they don’t have the benefit of natural curves to channel the trash towards the interceptor like in other rivers. Also, if I’m not mistaken, the water in the creek itself is pretty shallow and not used for recreation here. Maybe occasional kayakers but that would be all. no other boats or anything go up this channel, the inlet to the marina is directly adjacent to the creek on the other side of the rocks.
What’s the cost of one interceptor?
