New SeaCleaner Mobula 8 Launches To Clean Up Ocean Plastic and Oil Spills

You can add the SeaCleaners to the growing list of environmental heroes who are currently deploying Mobula 8 plastic- and oil-catching boats around the world. We also get a first glimpse of the SeaCleaners' concept ship, the Manta, which will be an ambassador for green ships and smart ships in promoting science, sustainability and the circular economy.

I'm glad people in humanity are out there like him!

[@JJs_playground]

I'm really liking all this increased interest in Ocean cleanup activity.

[@keithwhite5657]

Impressive 👍 amazing 👍

[@Odia_bhaina]

In all rivers please

[@a.d.h1019]

What does a rig like that cost to include the set up to process all the plastics for recycling

[@willcookmakeup]

To have an onboard pyrolysis system… it must be hundreds of millions of dollars at least

[@Allprowebtools]

That's the correct question. There's no way that thing is sustainable

[@melcrose]

I have a Mobula 7 drone so I clicked on this for a completely different reason.

[@doslover]

I hate that we have the need all these cleanup programs but I'm glad people are doing something about it. Hopefully we can get to the point where we stop generating (and improperly disposing of) all this plastic to begin with!

👏 very noice 🎊

[@1skeeta4u]

Beautiful

[@naiyahp]

1 hour ago cool. 😎😎😎

[@hannahalexander7005]

Great idea will create jobs on land and sea and help sea life

[@arinjayurs378]

I think, if every country bought these mechanisms, we can reduce the ocean plastic dump and eventually make every water body clean as in the past

[@joelsmart1568]

The question is how well does this actually work when the cameras are turned off and the "demonstrations" are over. Not all plastic waste is fresh, clean empty floating plastic bottles. What about plastic tangled in seaweed, what about when you collect 1000 tiny shards of plastic mixed with tiny snails and bugs and larvae... I'm afraid this type of "ambassador" concept ship is a major false hope situation. But, I'd LOVE to see real data showing otherwise.

Genuine question.. how might I find out if you’re hiring?

[@yosephdawson7045]

Ayo 😳

[@TheWisestCompanyOnEarth]

How do you invest?

It’s not good for fish. Just remove humans.
