Waste collection boats
Slow-moving catamarans with nets collect floating plastic in harbours, estuaries and coastal waters, then bring it ashore for sorting.
One Earth One Ocean’s SeeKuh moves at walking pace so larger animals can avoid the nets while small organisms pass through the mesh. Pairing boats with local sorting teams turns cleanup into steady local jobs. Its next step, the SeeElefant, is a converted freighter being developed to sort and recycle collected plastic on board.
