Humans make waste that nature cant digest :
'Plastic - the floating diamonds of the ocean'.
Mankind generates about 200 billion pounds of plastic used each year,
about 10 percent ends up in the ocean. When plastic ends up in the
waters of the pacific, much of it is swept up into the currents that lead to the
pacific gyre. As more and more of the stuff accumulates, tracking and
even removing it becomes necessary as the sun breaks down plastic into
smaller and smaller pieces, but can never break it down entirely. As it breaks
apart, the plastic ultimately becomes small enough to be ingested
by aquatic organisms which reside near the ocean's surface and eventually
plastic waste enters the food chain.
The strategy is to Mitigate the waste problem of the biggest landll on
earth - 'the ocean' where every piece of plastic ever made still exists. Utilizing
robotic devices which will work on the section of the ocean and
focuses on the three problem areas, the shore [where the plastic ends up
on the coast line], the floating plastic [which accounts to 30% of the ocean
plastic] and the ocean bed [an abode for heavy plastic].
The robotic centre based on these zones and their specificity in the nature
of plastic sends in the robotic devices that breaks down into individual
robotic components. These components work independently at
each level and deploy itself back when the various tasks are completed.
Their set of rules are search, recognize and collect.
