A cornerstone of this year's initiative was the optimization of ocean operations employing the innovative System 03 within the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP). This refined system has led to enhancements in efficiency, reliability, and safety for marine life. In 2024, teams successfully executed 112 extractions, reinforcing the assertion made in September that the cleanup of the GPGP is both achievable and affordable, pegged at a cost of $7.5 billion—less than the annual expenditure by the U.S. on Halloween decorations.
