MAELSTROM Objective 2: ML Removal from seabed and both lower and upper water column
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This objective supports the implementation of the UN SDG 14 Life Below Water, by addressing two major challenges: (i)Surface and Upper Water Column litter: Floating plastics carried by rivers and harbours currents must be intercepted and captured before they enter the oceans and either sink to the seabed or create gyres MAELSTROM will deploy an automated air-bubbles barrier installed in optimized locations to retrieve these floating items, and also contribute to the re-oxygenation of the rivers, harbours and lagoons. (ii)Seabed and Lower Water Column: For ML hotspots in coastal waters, MAELSTROM will provide a robotized cable robot capable of high efficiency removal of small and large debris on seabed and in the lower water column.
