The world's oceans are drowning in plastic debris. Recent research from 2023 reveals a staggering figure: over 171 trillion plastic fragments are currently drifting through our marine waters, creating a crisis that impacts not just sea creatures and their habitats, but human populations as well.

Time is working against us – these plastic pieces are constantly degrading into tinier fragments, making extraction increasingly difficult. The only solution is direct removal from the water. Several organizations have stepped up to tackle this challenge, including an innovative nonprofit called The Ocean Cleanup, which harnesses artificial intelligence in its mission.

To maximize their impact, the organization needs precise data about where to position their cleanup equipment. They achieved a breakthrough in 2022 by developing an AI system trained on marine debris imagery. When combined with GPS technology, this system effectively tracks and predicts plastic waste movement patterns across the oceans.

The significance of this work extends beyond the immediate cleanup effort. Understanding the volume and types of plastic accumulating in ocean garbage patches is crucial for the entire operation – from designing effective collection systems to planning transportation logistics, developing recycling strategies, and calculating project expenses.
