According to Greenpeace, our seas receive 200 kilograms of garbage per second, which

form true floating plastic islands — four times the size of California. This reality, so

dangerous to the health of the planet, inspired our ingenious initiative to clean the

oceans.

​

Why?

​

The ocean is one of the most beautiful and mysterious places on

Earth... But it is threatened by pollution. Not long ago, due to its

immense size and depth, human beings believed that they could

dump garbage and substances into their waters without consequences

for the environment.

Where ?

​

Our autonomous submarine helps monitor the amount of plastic on the ocean floor

and map the areas with the highest concentration of this waste. It works by sending

the location and geographic coordinates of these points to a satellite in Earth orbit

and to a this research center.

​

Our Solution

​

That's why we developed an autonomous submarine that monitors the amount of

plastic on the ocean floor and transmits geographic coordinates, and other data,

from these to a data center of a research center via satellite.

​

On the next page is the initial image of the application, which shows

the geographic coordinates of the garbage at the bottom of the oceans,

obtained through the autonomous submarine named Sub-Dolphin.
