As Petráková notes, millions of tons of trash enter the ocean each year. Today, large surfaces covered in marine plastic pollution equal the size of a continent. The one growing in the pacific ocean is called The 8th Continent. For too long, we lived in the delusion that we can not hurt the ocean by our action onshore. We left hundreds of species to get extinct. The ocean-cleaning research facility was designed with a reimagined approach grounded in architectural and technological designs. The proposed floating station would clean the ocean to restore balance in the marine environment.
