The “#AzureFighter” is a remote-controlled prototype catamaran measuring 3.8 meters that can pick up floating garbage in water environments. The international community is seeing rapid growth in technology for cleaning up marine litter, yet there is limited information available to the public.

▸▸▸ Our research sheds light on the efficiency of #GarbageCollection, provides a breakdown of garbage composition, examines stakeholder perspectives on the cleanup effort and also the policy challenges we have faced. We believe that preventing debris from entering the ocean requires not only #InnovativeTechnology but also collaboration with #stakeholders.
