Description

Southern Californias rivers are set to get new trash interceptors, thanks to a collaboration between local leaders and The Ocean Cleanup. These interceptors, powered by solar energy, have already removed over 200 tons of debris from Ballona Creek. The new systems, costing between $5 million and $8 million, will help protect marine life and keep beaches clean, especially ahead of the 2028 Olympics. The Ocean Cleanups global interceptors have already stopped over 115 million pounds of trash, and these new additions aim to cut 5% of ocean-bound plastic.
