Is possible reduce the marine debris into the oceans?
Many species of marine birds, turtles, marine mammals and other marine organisms could mistake plastic debris with food and die in few days. Some younglets of marine birds also could affect by plastic debris in a single moment when their mothers take the food by her throat. So if this food contain any kind of plastic debris, this indefensible younglet  could die in hours. Another examples of plastic debris occur with marine turtles who confuse their preferential food with plastic debris floating and have showed several deaths around coastline of the oceans.
Recently, a young ducth of only 19 years old, Boyan Slat, create one of the possible solutions to reduce the marine debris, mainly plastic debris, into the oceans. He proposed a solution to clean half of the Pacific Ocean in 10 years. The project's Slat consist in a floating barrier which take advantage of oceanic currents making a trench that blocks the debris floating in the waters.
