I have some questions about this, but I love the idea.
- How does it store the waste it collects? It looks fairly small.
- Wouldn't you need a fleet of millions of these to make a dent?
- Can it sniff out the trash in the water so it's more efficient, or does it randomly swim around and hope to get lucky?
So many questions, but let's not waste time by paralyzing ourselves debating over best methods. Let's try everything!
“The way we designed the WasteShark was that it was zero impact on the environment that it's working in,” says Richard. “You'll see a lot of boats that go out and clean are normally diesel-powered or mechanically powered so there's a bit of oil and pollution going back into the water while they're cleaning,” he explains. WasteShark is completely electric and is so quiet it doesn’t disturb wildlife, according to the Ran Marine CEO.
