🌊Meet our icebreaker, FRED
🌊Clear Blue Sea’s Floating Robot for Eliminating Debris is a solar-powered semi-autonomous marine robot that collects plastic pollution (as small as 0.5-5mm) by a conveyor belt that is collected for later recycling/upcycling purposes

Plastic pollution kills more than 100,000 marine animals a year ‼️ The plastic debris that many of these animals ingest or become entangled in does NOT decompose. There are 5.25 million pieces of MICROPLASTICS in the ocean ‼️ HOW can you HELP ⁉️ What can YOU do⁉️ 1. MINIMIZE the consumption of SINGLE-USE plastics
2. Spread AWARENESS about plastic pollution aversely affecting our marine environments and human health ‼️
3. SHARE http://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/7720 💙
