Plastics are swamping our oceans. This is one of the most talked about issues but what are we doing about it?

The Ocean Cleanup, led by inventor and entrepreneur Boyan Slat are pioneers in technology that is clearing our oceans of plastic and also stopping plastics entering our oceans through river interceptors.

I spoke to Rachel Richardson from The Ocean Cleanup to find out out about how The Ocean cleanup started and what they are currently doing to clean up our oceans.

Details of their rivers study will be here from the 30th April
