Saving the Seas: New Technologies to Protect the Ocean
“The ocean covers more than 70 percent of our planet’s surface. The Pacific alone is more than 60 million square miles. And yet, technologists are often focused on their home turf, populating roads with Ubers, equipping cities with wireless access points, and covering the land with cellular base stations.
Thus far, the 321,003,271 cubic miles of ocean on Earth have experienced more technological harm than benefit. Over-fishing, plastic waste, oil spills, raw sewage dumping, illegal whaling, and climate change have all taken a toll.
But it doesn’t have to stay that way. New and developing technologies could lead to a more responsible ocean economy…”

May I ask what about the red tide in Florida. I am a Cape Codder and yes it is a shame to see trash dumped in water as fish in a large size will consume anything. Truly just my thoughts seen it happen.
The issue of garbage disposal need special attention.
Nice pic
I agree with you on that point and we really need to get the plastic back out of the sea
Totally true , I wonder how? People are litter bugs I myself recycle not hard .
Hi
Stormy Whether ItsMy view that a ship with a wide conveyor belt could just scoop up plastics and then ship it back to land for disposal. It would need a fairly large ship and it would take quite a time but bit by bit it could be removed
Interesting! Thanks for the info.
