With the increase of floating garbage at sea along global coastal cities and scenic spots,
governments have gradually intensified their attention to the recovery of the floating
garbage. How to adopt reasonable methods to recover marine floating garbage while with a
strong desire of controlling discharge has been a significant issue for protecting marine
environment. Presently manually-operated small boats have been widely used for clean-up
work, but they have mainly been used for inshore or inland river waters where marine
floating garbage tended to concentrate, which consumes more energy and the cost of clean-up
work for scattered marine floating garbage is higher. This research team designed and
developed a new type of intelligent recovery system for marine floating garbage, including
ship’s hull, recovery and interception devices etc., which is not only used for handling
inshore garbage, but also for deep-sea automatic recovery, which plays an active role in
protecting marine environment.
