Summary
This paper proposes a technological solution using unmanned aerial vehicles and automated collection systems to prevent marine littering at coastal hotspots. The approach aims to intercept plastic waste before it enters the ocean and breaks down into microplastics.
Pollution in the marine environment is a global problem with severe consequences on marine and terrestrial ecosystemsand to human health. It is estimated that every year, eight million tonnes of debris find their way into the worlds
