Umqondo ungabonakala uhlanya, kepha ungenye yezinto ezimbi kakhulu. Kusukela eminyakeni emithathu eyedlule, UBoyan Slat, i-noven yaseDashi eneminyaka engu-19, isebenza kwiprojekthi yesikhulumi esifana nefanele enkulu ekwazi ukuhlanza izilwandle. Ubusha: isifundo esinokwenzeka sithi its umqondo ingasebenza futhi ivumele i- Oceano Pacific lahla ingxenye kadoti wayo wepulasitiki eminyakeni eyishumi, lokho kungamakhilo ayizigidi ezingama-70.
Ngokuya ngokutholakele, lapho ngineminyaka engu-16 kuphela ubudala, ukuthi kwakukhona imfucuza eningi kunezinhlanzi zokugeza eGrisi, UBoyan Slat Le ndlela yabhekwa: Ukusebenzisa imisinga nemimoya ukuheha upulasitiki. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lo mqondo unenzuzo yokungabandakanyi noma yiluphi uhlobo lwengozi yezilwane zasolwandle noma izitshalo.

Uma wakho okusungulwe ukubona usuku, kuzoba nomthelela omkhulu esifundeni se- izilwandle. Kodwa noma kunjalo, imfucuza yepulasitiki iyingxenye yenkinga kuphela. Kukhona nombuzo othi i-acidification, ukudoba ngokweqile, ngaphezu kokucabanga ngezindlela ezivimbela ipulasitiki ekugcineni ekugcineni ekugcineni izilwandle.
ekugcineni kukhona umlingiswa onentshisekelo kule ndawo, ngijoyina umkhankaso wakhe, ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi kuguquka kanjani, inhlamvu yadutshulwa ngejubane elikhulu, imiphumela yayo izoba yinhlekelele esikhathini esifushane nesikhathi eside, yisikhathi sokuthatha isinyathelo ngokumelene nemincintiswano, eholela emhlabeni enhlekeleleni yomhlaba wonke, iplanethi iyaqhubeka nokukhuluma, asazi ukuthi imiphumela yayo izoba yini kamuva, ngiphinde ngibe semkhankasweni wokufudumala kwembulunga yonke, ngiyazi ukuthi uma sihlangana ndawonye ukwazi ukulawula ukungcola okungaka kwemifula kangangokuba amanzi ayo aya ezilwandle okuthi ngendlela ulwandle olwehla ngayo ngenxa yokungcola okuningi okuvela emifuleni futhi umhlaba uncipha.
