The Ocean Cleanup NGO is collaborating with shipping companies to deploy an AI-powered camera system called ADIS on commercial vessels to monitor plastic pollution in oceans. These cameras identify and record floating plastic, creating a global map of pollution hotspots. With 22 ships currently equipped and plans to double that number, the project aims to gather long-term data on plastic concentration trends and the effectiveness of anti-pollution measures. Shipping firms like Hyundai Glovis are contributing by transforming their fleets into a global monitoring network, leveraging their extensive routes to collect data from remote ocean areas. AI
IMPACT Enhances environmental monitoring capabilities by leveraging AI for large-scale data collection on plastic pollution.
