Will Seabins save our oceans? The Seabin Project

Seabins are being installed at harbors and marinas across the planet with the simple task of cleaning up garbage and possibly oil floating in the water. CNET met up with Seabin Project CEO Pete Ceglinski during an installation in Alameda, California, to see one in action.

Will Seabins save our oceans? The Seabin Project

Seabins are being installed at harbors and marinas across the planet with the simple task of cleaning up garbage and possibly oil floating in the water. CNET met up with Seabin Project CEO Pete Ceglinski during an installation in Alameda, California, to see one in action.

Australians Andrew Turton and Pete Ceglinski have developed a bucket that floats just below the surface of the water and draws waste from the water by suction. The garbage is collected in the bucket in a net, while the water can drain through the net again. An oil filter is also integrated in the system. The Seabin Project could be funded by crowdfunding.
