Written by During the kick-off year of our ghost net clean-up in 2018, 18 satellite trackers were deployed by various vessels of opportunity in the Pacific. With the help of citizen scientists and other ships of opportunity, OVI will continue to tag large, floating plastic debris in the North Pacific Gyre with our satellite tracking buoys. Continuing into 2019 there will be additional trackers deployed with plans for a cleanup expedition mid-year. The goal is to continue this cycle of tagging and cleanup in following years.
