Team water guys

Meet Gabrielle, a turtle living
in the Pacific Ocean.

Her life has been full of peril

since she shifted closer to the
great Pacific garbage patch.
Deaths due to plastics in water
The sufferer is marine life and
ultimately, everyone
Why are we Every day approximately 8
million pieces of plastic pollution
targeting find their way into our oceans.
There may now be around 5.25

plastic ? trillion macro and microplastic

pieces floating in the open ocean.
Weighing up to 269,000 tonnes.
Plastics consistently make up 60
to 90% of all marine debris
studied.
 Method
used for
propulsion
Vinegar + soda rocket to
give a pressurised stream
of liquid
Plastic
removing
system
To remove plastic from
water bodies ,a simple
method of a net can be used,
as most plastics float on
water or remain stationary a
few feet below water
surface.
Boats collect over 6 tonnes of plastic garbage in a few hours using nets
 nts in the
field
A new device codenamed system 001
is proposed to clean thousands is
tonnes of plastic garbage.
“The 600 metre long machine uses
tidal patterns to float into areas of
high plastic concentration, creating a
horseshoe-shaped barrier to trap
debris which can later be collected Construction of the gigantic device
and recycled”.
