Can you imagine a pile of trash twice the size of Texas? That's what's floating in the Pacific Ocean right now.A group started an ambitious project to clean it up.Boyan Slat, founder of The Ocean Cleanup, has waited five years to see his idea put into action. That idea consists of a 2,000-foot long barrier, with a 10-foot skirt below that’ll help get plastic out of the ocean.“2,000 feet is a pretty big clean up system, and just imagining that the future one will probably be you know maybe twice as large,” says Slat.It's work starts at the Great Pacific Garbage Patch--an area between California and Hawaii--with a pile of trash three times the size of France.  “You go out there, it's all blue. The thing is you're all miles away from any human activity and you start to see like objects that you can see in your kitchen,” says Laurent Lebreton, lead oceanographer. “So, it's just very striking like you wouldn't expect.”The system will corral the plastic floating on the surface, so fish and other ocean life can swim underneath. Then, smaller boats take the plastic back to shore for recycling. The Ocean Cleanup says it can extract 50 percent of the plastic in the patch every five years.  “That's a huge goal,” says Dr. Mikki McColb-Kobza, with Ocean First Institute. “If they are able to do that, I think that is a really big dent into the problem.”Dr. McColb-Kobza says the system is meeting an unaddressed need.  “There really haven't been a lot of other projects trying to go out and bring trash bag to try and figure out a way to bring it back,” he says.  Still, some say the system creates a false sense of security, and more focus should be placed on keeping plastic out of the ocean to begin with.  But Dr. McColb-Kobza says the project is a great way to get that conversation started.  “Really the key is not only to clean up what is there, but it's to think about why you know do we live in this plastic throw a way society.”   1990

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (KGTV) - The Recon Challenge at Camp Pendleton takes Marines through a grueling 30-mile course, comprised of obstacles including a 1,000-yard open-ocean swim, mountainous terrain, and underwater knot-tying exercises.The challenge honors the fallen Marines of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Inherent Resolve. Participants run in the name of a fallen Marine, paying tribute by hanging dog tags on the iconic battlefield cross at the finish line."It's probably a collection of some of the toughest people on the planet, I mean it's, imagine a marathon but you're carrying 50 pounds plus you're swimming in the ocean, the pools, and doing these other events," said Adam Sorensen, who was medically retired from the Marine Corps two years ago. Sorenson's group was made up of Marines from 3rd platoon, commonly known as "LOWLIFE," Force Reconnaissance Company, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division.PHOTOS: Camp Pendleton Recon Challenge 2019In addition to carrying the name of a fallen comrade, they also carried their comrade Jonathon Blank, who was medically retired after both of his legs were severed after stepping on an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan in 2010. "They are the guys you can count on the rest of your life, I mean it when I say they're my brothers," said Blank, who used prosthetics to cross the finish line.The event is also a chance for Gold Star Families to reunite with those their loved ones served with. One group of Marines completed the course in honor of Staff Sgt. Caleb Medley, who was killed during a training accident in 2013."It's like a family reunion, it's hard in a way, but it's really a joyful time because you're reconnecting with those people who served with Caleb, who had a bond with Caleb," said Diane Homm, Medley's mother. "When they say they're going to be there for you for the rest of your life they mean it, because they are, they're there for you." 1984
