== Boyan Slat ==
Boyan Slat (born: ) is the founder of The Ocean Cleanup. He was born in Delft, The Netherlands, to a Croatian father and a Dutch-British mother. His parents separated a year after he was born and he was mostly raised by his mother, though he did keep in touch with his father and still visted him. He was interested in engineering and tinkering from a young age, and at age 14 was noted in the Guinness Book of World Records for “most water rockets launched simultaneously.” He was motivated to create The Ocean Cleanup when, at age 16, he went to the Greek island of Lefkas on vacation and was disappointed to see more garbage than water.https://www.telegraf.rs/english/3074859-boyan-is-a-miracle-he-discovered-the-most-important-thing-in-the-world-superhero-saving-the-earthhttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/young-dutch-inventor-wants-clean-plastic-ocean-can-he-do-n882486
