    Yeah, I saw that. Keeping plastic out of the oceans is different than ocean clean up, which is why I mentioned removal. The Quartz link I just added has slightly different wording: "The project is a part of a larger initiative to rid the seas of “plastic soup.”" That's still vague and could just mean working to prevent additional plastic being added rather than attempts to clean-up the mess.

        No problem! And if anyone wants a translation of the NOS article (the link in Dutch), just let me know. I can translate it when I have chance.
