So cool to hear about how that LOCALLY changes things.. After all this has always been about cleaning the "ocean". So showing how the region benefits is so good!
Catching part of the trash is cool, but surely to get to the root of the problem we need to teach these geniuses not to throw their trash everywhere they go. How much money and intelligence do you need to NOT throw your trash everywhere you go???
@@gailwaters814 what a privileged statement. It couldn't be the hotels and millions of tourist. It has to be the locals. It couldn't be lack of infrastructure and shady business practices. Nope it's gotta be those locals throwing out trash.
Hope the locals keep it going and it clears up the surrounding areas - the difference between the water quality outside the barrier and inside the barrier was nuts (and disgusting!)
It's actually disturbing how just the floating barrier can already show how different the water is inside vs outside the barrier. So much floating gunk, not just plastic but like yeah the colours are just vastly different. Glad to see the ocean can actually relax a little

I've been following the crew all over the world with great job they do.i have dreamt of them coming to my small island of Jamaica 🇯🇲 and it's a dream come true.🙏keep up the good work 👍🏽 from me and all my fishing partners and associates 🇯🇲🇩🇪👊🏽😎

Love and respect from Long Beach. We recently had millions of sewage spilled into our waters and as a young person(25) I see this issue growing more and more. I applied for the volunteer program, I hope to here from Ocean Cleanup soon, cheers!

When I was young they really emphasized not littering, plus they enforced the 1000 dollar fine for littering. You wouldn't of been caught dead littering, other cultures haven't been taught this, and now they come to the US and they continue with their same ways. Just some education is needed. Now they teach this pie in the sky climate change. Cleanliness begins at home.
Great to see this project doing so well and heading to different nations.. But the thing is we need to educate the locals also to stop throwing trash everywhere, government should put bins around every corner it won't solve the issue but atleast it will have some positive effect.
The bighest polluting areas are around villages that don't have the infrastructure to have regular trash disposal. They talked about it in another video of theirs, I recommend watching some more of their videos, it was very informative ^^
The concept of not polluting is very easy for anyone to understand. No one needs education on this... I find it a bit condescending to say that we need to educate the locals. However, when it is throwing trash in the river or keeping it in your kitchen because of a lack of infrastructure then ofc people will pollute.
It's hard to change a culture of bad waste management habits. Here in the Philippines on Camiguin island we are trying single stream recycling and giving people an option they didn't have before. But even with flyers and recycle cage attendants teaching people it will be a long road.
@@TropicalOceanCleanup I have heard that corruption is often a problem there with the rich diverting money meant for waste disposal to making them richer. Is this something that you have seen or experienced?
I hope this pilot goes well. I have great confidence in The Ocean Clean Up company AND the local workers at these sites. If this project does nothing else, it will show everyone that the riverside trash that is thrown or dumped and the waste materials coming from factories or homes affects the ocean that we all share. There is no more "away" anymore (as in "throw it away").
As small scale of a project it may seem, it’s a phenomenal start and will have major impacts. Well done Jamaica 🇯🇲! Great example for ALL countries to learn.
Million thanks again for making Jamaica one of the early projects,,,,,, the approach may be different or at a different scale however I know the challenges presented on the ground,,, thank thanks thanks this is a great accomplishment as part of the Ocean clean up team

THANK YOU OCEAN CLEAN UP this is such a great gift for Jamaica! Love from the home country 🇳🇱 Good luck to Clean Harbours Jamaica! A Bravo to the gentleman of Tropical Ocean Cleanup/Biker who came up with the Kaboom which you are now using aswell. We learn from each other always!
I am always SOOO EXCITED to see more Interceptor Installations across the world! People are running out of time to save our only home, Earth from pollution; in our oceans, on land and in our atmosphere, but inventions like the Interceptor and JENNY, bring us hope!
I've watched this video several times now, love it. I'm curious how much did the new barrier's cost, and the labor? Boats? Looks to be employing many. Keep up the good work, you are making a big impact.
OMG I am so excited to see you doing this. Please keep us informed, can't wait to see the extraction and where the plastics, trash and debris goes to be processed. Keep up the great work, hope you can come to the Philippines one day and see our river trash Kabooms...made from trash, cheap but very effective. Please post update videos soon......
This man is doing a great job as well. He made barriers with tires and plastic bottles. Already in four canals, getting lots of debris out the ocean. Educate the local people and hire them. Please check the video ‘s of Tropical Ocean Cleanup as well.

@@gailwaters814 It is suggestions like your that has ruined my life. So I have done what your asking, design, built and installed a huge single stream recycling cage. Staffed it with paid cage attendants handing out informational flyers plus hands on helping people segregate. Oh it worked after many months and a whole lot of money. But now I am still stuck overseeing and maintaining/cleaning up daily due to no Government involvement, they could care less that is is working or not and refuses to take over for me. It has made a huge difference in the amount of trash on the street and in the canals, residents now have this cage as an option and I cannot break away from it until I get some support. Easy to suggest, much harder putting your boots on the ground and doing it. Not sure what to do now, any more suggestions?
You all make me so emotional! I'm bawling. You are HEROS and I LOVE seeing the local people being employed!!! The Jamaican's are SO EXCITED about your project. I am super impressed. BRAVO 👏🏽💙
Have you thought of adding a chemical detector that tells you what chemical like fertilizer or pesticides factory metal also measures the amount that goes through. It can help you figure out if farms or factorys or power plants like coal plants are contaminating the water. Thoughts on adding this to them.
I don't think they have the man power or resources to do it. An outside company would probably be more beneficial for handling that aspect of cleaning the water/gathering information. The ocean cleanup project could install them but doing anything useful with the data or going after companies and or finding solutions would cost them a significant portion of their budget. My personal opinion is they should ignore it because they already have an insane goal of preventing and cleaning up plastic and trash on 2/3 of the planet.
@@Avx829 they dont need to go after them just record the information and send it off to a company that will use the data from it and go through the proper channels to help reduce or stop it.
Excellent video, your project is perfect, it's exactly what the oceans and the world needs. Please keep up the great work and you all stay blessed.♥️💪💯🇯🇲
This is awesome, I have been following your company since back when it all started with the TED Talk and see where it is today, congratulations and every piece of trash that is kept out of the ocean is the goal. Now just need to find the best way to recycle all that stuff that you are catching all over the world so it doesn't get recycled back into the ocean again. keep up the good work
Well I'm greatful that no smell gos thro the camera..gives us a chanse to see this video.. I'm sure the people there are greatful to you beautiful souls in the River Team.. you deserve all the best of the best for wath your doing.. World Wide.. Thank you from my heart ❤
I absolutely love what you are doing with your projects and that you include locals in the progress!!! Do you also have plans to Start your project even earlier in the chain so preventing littering from happening in the first place?
This has been addressed in one of their other videos. The problem is mostly infrastructure: many countries don't have a system for garbage disposal. That itself could create jobs, but I guess there is no will from some people in power in those places..
I love to watch those tremendeous The Ocean Clean Up Documentaries and Live Pictures from across the globe understanding how everything works, how everything gets implemented and fully respected. I love to see the huge influence The Ocean Clean Up gives to the Nature to the animals to the water and of course to the positive developement of humans thinking and solidarity to work and stand for the right things, to clean everything up, to stop polluting, to stop rush-consuming and to start living healthier and thinking healthier ❤️❤️💚💚❤️❤️💙💙
What you guys are doing- installing the barriers, preventing the plastic and waste from entering the ocean- is really cool. It uplifts and brings hope to people that changes at small levels can have a huge impact in the longterm. But I do have a question- what happens to all the waste trapped between the barriers-does it just stay there or is it recycled- what happens to it?
Thank you for doing this, hope to see video’s in the future which the results. I also interested in the amount of trash already collected with Jenny in her first months of the official trip.
An amazing job that you are doing all around the world. But this is only a patch, a really good patch but this has to go further and it has to start with education with everyone all over the world.

Excellent.thank you we appreciate the great job that is being done, thank's again a miricle for our fishermen and our sea users,Jamaica thanks all involved. 💛💜❤🐋🐟🐬
I've seen where they have simple plastics processing - sorting and melting it into heavy paving blocks of different shapes and colors. Supposed to be long lasting. They should give solutions for the waste itself.
Fantastic, 👌🏾👍🏾Well done to Jamaica 🇯🇲, showing how a little project can make a difference to many.. Keep the momentum going, can't wait to see the next phase 😉✊🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽
First of all good job from everybody involved in this. The ocean cleanup is a really good project for the whole world. But here is my concern with this specifically, aren't the locals going to trow more trash in the river because they know it will be cleaned up in the end? Resulting in way more work for the ocean cleanup. Again, very good job. keep it up!
Developing waste infrastructure for the towns is probably the most impactful thing to reduce ocean trash. This is great too, but from a systems thinking perspective this is symptomatic of a much more serious issue. But by all means, keep up the good work, it's a step in the right direction.
You spoke of the excitement. I'm excited about this trash clean up myself! The excitement is counter to all the dispair I've experienced all my life of watching the planet fill up with people's trash. Now, I hope you can design a Space Interceptor for space junk!
👍🏾Good luck with this pilot, may valuable data be obtained and used to implement more projects going forward. I also hope that the sources of the waste are addressed: waste disposal!
It is excellent to see you starting to clean up the plastics, but the problem is that you need more recycling of your plastics! There are companies that can help you develop a plastics recovery and reuse it for fuel and products.. 👍🏼peace love respect ✊🏻
Wherever we deploy an Interceptor, we work with local stakeholders to help with education/prevention and waste management. The Grace Kennedy Foundation mentioned in this video is one of those stakeholders.
I love my island but we have so much to learn. Recycling and proper disposal of garbage needs to be a priority. I guess small steps are still considered progress. We can do better people.
I noticed that with the barrier it also holds back oil and other bad liquids. I would be nice if there are plans to take that out of the water as well. 💪🏼
Great idea, great work, the USA doesnt do stuff like this do they? They might but never get reports on anything good happening, this is saving the planet stuff...Great work everyone.
If ya'll are doing anything in the Yucatan, you have a project manager / business dev mgr boots on ground con un poco de lingua Español y todo Ingles. Your project is so awesome.
So wish you guys would come to South Africa, I'm so embarrassed to say I live here, the amount of pollution and littering is shocking, well done, AMAZING project ! 🤙🏽😎
Very inspirational work! And happy to see the impact. But what about the people of Jamaica, they put the plastic in the rivers. So what will the Jamaican government do about that?

One positive step at a time. It's clear as day to see the immediate impact the barriers have.
Amazing. Love the different solutions by the ocean cleanup.
Proud of you guys!
It’s amazing and surprising to see the difference in water color between the river side and ocean side. I did not expect that
Well done from Trinidad and Tobago
Mores Fishes, more food for Jamaicans and more business for the fishermen. Its definitely a win win for us and the environment.
On a side note, love the signature neon electric blue of Ocean Cleanup. Very cool! 😎
I am so glad to see this project progress. I know people who "don't believe" this is real, that plastic pollution is a problem. Sad.
I'm soooo happy people are slowly starting to understand
We can't look after this planet by ourselves
But all together we CAN make a difference

These guys are everybody's Heroes!
Incredible work
They are smart to know that this project will help them a lot.
What opportunities do you have for job creation for the locals? Seems like there's potential
I think jobs would be like maintainence for the Interceptors, operators and maybe trash cleaners? For if the machines are down I guess
First time that i see thankful people in videos like that .. I am sure that was a good feeling there :) Good job.
I love this for the locals, the project and for the ocean ♡♡♡ great job everyone!
you guys are awesome! must be the best job in the world,,, looking after the oceans!!
They should use the chicken blood as fertilizer! Slaughterhouse blod can be processed and turned into fertilizer for gardening.
Anything new in Jamaica is something they can look forward to.
I've seen where they have simple plastics processing - sorting and melting it into heavy paving blocks of different shapes and colors. Supposed to be long lasting. They should give solutions for the waste itself.
Luv seeing the progress you all are
Doing around the world. Keep it up.
One of the few things which gives me hope for the future
Everyone needs to contribute. Jamaica needs a recycling program. Hefty fine for industries and other polluters.

I noticed that with the barrier it also holds back oil and other bad liquids. I would be nice if there are plans to take that out of the water as well. 💪🏼
You guys are the best!!!
I am watching over a year later. I need to check the website to see how it is working.
Great idea, great work, the USA doesnt do stuff like this do they? They might but never get reports on anything good happening, this is saving the planet stuff...Great work everyone.
If ya'll are doing anything in the Yucatan, you have a project manager / business dev mgr boots on ground con un poco de lingua Español y todo Ingles. Your project is so awesome.
Great idea! Keep going! But also it would be great to organize some on land recycling programs as well.
Great project, well done Ocean Cleanup- amazing! thanks 🫂
This is sooo important! Thank you.
So wish you guys would come to South Africa, I'm so embarrassed to say I live here, the amount of pollution and littering is shocking, well done, AMAZING project ! 🤙🏽😎
Congratulations from Brazil 🇧🇷👏👏👏
Very inspirational work! And happy to see the impact. But what about the people of Jamaica, they put the plastic in the rivers. So what will the Jamaican government do about that?
Brings great awareness, excellent 👌 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
