Part 6/11:
Traditionally, ships relied on surface observations and guesswork to locate these areas, which was inefficient and imprecise. Now, with machine learning algorithms trained on satellite data, the organization is developing a real-time, predictive system that maps plastic densities across vast ocean stretches. These drones act as scouts, guiding cleanup vessels to the most concentrated zones of debris, transforming the Pacific into a living, constantly updated dashboard of plastic distribution.
