All Challenges
Marine Debris
Detect, map, and remove plastic and debris from waterways.
The Problem
Plastic, monofilament, and storm debris accumulate in lagoon shorelines and bottom sediments, entangling wildlife and leaching pollutants. Debris loads shift with storms and tides, making cleanups reactive instead of planned.
Our Approach
Use drone and boat-mounted surveys plus AI to map debris hotspots, forecast accumulation zones, and route cleanup crews efficiently. Track removals and measure tons diverted to track impact over time.
