Hey Boyan and his team work. Your efforts are GREAT, this is so... i don't have words.
I'm Biologist from Guadalajara, Mexico... and I do some efforts too, in Mexican oceans, actually, i I gave a conference about the current situation of the seas ... and you were part of this huge conference in my city, to create awareness, and hold everyone accountable. Thanks for all, I hope we can meet someday.

thank you for this. At least someone cares about the environment. We gotta get the governments involved, it's too big of a task for private companies. Respect from czech republic.

Gracias THE OCEAN CLEANUP por hacer visible para el mundo esta problemática (mucho mas por su maravilloso proyecto) que nos corresponde a todos ayudar a solucionar, incluso a los que vivimos "tierra adentro" en una ciudad como Bogotá. Soy docente y creo que la mejor forma de ayudar desde aquí es ayudando a que mis estudiantes, mi entorno cercano desarrolle mucha más responsabilidad social y realicemos acciones concretas como las campañas de preciclaje y reciclaje. Lo que podamos hacer ahora por nuestro planeta de seguro nos lo agradecerán las generaciones futuras.

This is great guys!
Been following you since TED, I cannot wait for the cleanup to actually start.

We have made such a mess of our oceans, the sooner we can start cleaning up, (and continue educating), the better.

[althafmohamed]

This video has such a good quality and communicability in it compared to the amount of sh*t people give about the issue this video is talking about...
Thank you The Ocean Cleanup!

Perhaps nature is making it easier for humans to clean up the oceans by gathering the trash in one place

How on earth is this video preceded by an ad for hefty garbage bags?!
