I read the article (2016) you linked, and it's not a good one. She raised some valid questions in the article, tho, most of which actually got an answer from Slat in the comments. I won't pretend I'm informed enough to judge his answers, but Dr Martini herself thanked him for his answers, and didn't ask anything further at that time, which indicates to me that at the time she considered his answer sufficient.
- cultus 8y agoNo, they did not get answered by Slat in the comments. Are we reading the same article? Dr. Kim Martini is a very respected oceanographer. While you may not like the tone of the article, she knows what she is talking about. Her concerns were not answered, she just thanked him for replying. Here's a later followup article, so it is clear these concerns have not been resolved. http://www.deepseanews.com/2017/01/what-did-the-boyan-slat-and-the-ocean-cleanup-do-last-summer/ http://www.deepseanews.com/2017/01/what-did-the-boyan-slat-a... Every time this project comes up and actual scientists point out the issues, even people who generally trust scientists seem to be very hostile to criticism of the project.
