这套清理装置由40英尺(约合12米)长的管子组成——具有讽刺意味的是这些管子也是塑料的,它们将被连在一起,形成一个蛇形的长管。
Filled with air, they will float on the ocean's surface in an arc, and have nylon screens hanging down below forming a giant floating dustpan to catch the plastic rubbish that gathers together when moved by the currents. The screens, however, will be unable to trap microplastics – tiny fragments.
充满空气的管子将呈弧形漂浮在海面上,下面悬挂的尼龙筛网将形成一个巨大的漂浮簸箕,捕获随着水流移动而聚集在一起的塑料垃圾。不过,这些筛网无法捕获塑料微粒——极其微小的碎片。
Fish will be able to escape the screens by swimming underneath them.
鱼能够从筛网下面游过,不会被它们捕获。
The Ocean Cleanup team aim to launch the beginnings of the system from the shores of San Francisco Bay within weeks, start it working by July and then keep extending it.
“海洋清理”公司团队计划在几周之内从旧金山湾区的海岸开始投放这种系统,在7月底之间开始启用,然后不断扩大作业面积。
They plan to have 60 giant floating scoops, each stretching a mile from end to end. Boats will go out to collect debris every six to eight weeks.
他们计划放置60个巨大的漂浮簸箕,每一个簸箕的跨度为1英里(约合1.6公里),然后每隔6到8周会派出船只去收集捕获的塑料碎片。
