Summary Draft 2 - Ocean Clean-Up Machine (a)

According to Schiller (2017),  the ocean clean-up machine is being made into reality. The article stated that a man named Boyan Slat had set out a massive clean-up project using his vision of the ocean clean-up machine. The article quoted that oceanographer Charles Moore discovered the Great Pacific Garbage Patch had waste so thick that it forms solid areas one could walk on. This allows people to infer how bad the ocean pollution is.

The article reported that Slat had received criticism and sceptics about the project when he initially designed for a clean-up machine measuring 60 miles long to repair the seabed. 

The article then stated that after numerous vetting, his new idea was to split his initial design into 50 smaller devices of 0.6 miles each which is a better initiation as it allows the remaining machines to still work if one were to malfunction. 

The article pointed out that although building an individual device is more cost-saving and efficient than a huge clean-up machine, the individual devices require removal maintenance monthly. The article then concluded with Boyan Slat's future goal of making use of the waste collected to be recycled into useful materials. 

While the Ocean Clean-Up Machine may be costly and short of support from organisers, the benefits from the initiation is essential to protecting the ocean.
