SEMI-AUTONOMOUS UNMANNED MARINE
ROBOT. AND IT KIND OF HAS TWO

SWEEP AROUND THE OCEAN

IT IS DUMPED IN A BACK BIN
WHERE IT RETURNS BACK TO
MISSION MISSION CONTROL,
THE MISSION BASE AND FROM THERE
WE WORK WITH ORGANIZATIONS THAT
UP CYCLE PLASTIC TO HAVE A NICE
SUSTAINABLE OPERATION AND THEN
ALSO USED AS SCIENTIFIC DATA TO
SEE WHAT'S IN OUR LOCAL
ENVIRONMENTS RIGHT HERE. SO
