A portion of The Ocean Cleanup Project's passive system, made up of a floating series of connected pipes the length of five football fields that float at the surface of the ocean. Each closed pipe is four-feet in diameter. Below these hang a nine-foot net skirt. The system moves more slowly than the water, allowing the currents and waves to push trash into its center to collect it. Floating particles are   captured by the net while the push of water against the net propels fish and other marine life under and beyond.
