Follow the journey to clean up the Pacific

Across the globe, ocean-borne trash has accumulated in five so-called ‘ocean garbage patches’. The largest of these is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch located between Hawaii and San Francisco, California. If left to circulate, the plastic will impact ecosystems, health and economies. Solving it requires a combination of closing the source and cleaning up what has already accumulated in the ocean.

The Ocean Cleanup develops advanced technologies to rid the world's oceans of plastic. A full scale deployment of its systems is estimated to clean up 50% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch within five years.

Mid-2018 a 600m long cleanup system will be deployed in the ocean between Hawaii and San Francisco, California. This system concentrates ocean plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, so it can easily be removed and brought back to shore for recycling.

Siqura’s SA-HSD820V2H3 Marine Dome Camera is just the right camera for assisting The Ocean Cleanup Foundation. It has been specifically designed for use in harsh offshore and marine environments.

The camera housing is constructed from 316L stainless steel for maximum corrosion protection. It is also protected against vibrations and shocks and capable of coping with large differences in temperature. Its technology and 30x zoom capacity will allow the foundation to display its important work in the best way possible.
