- imtringued 9y agoHere is a nice summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EyaTqezSzs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EyaTqezSzs Key highlights: * Mega expedition with 50 boats * Aerial survey * Hand counted 1.2m samples under a microscope * 92% of mass is floating on the surface Based on old evidence the project was clearly a waste of resources but of course the irony is that the lack of resources spent on researching the garbage patch lead to insufficient information about how feasable the project is in reality.
