Today's oceans contain 26-66 million tons of waste, with approximately 94% located on the seafloor. So far, collection efforts have focused mostly on surface waste, with only a few local efforts to gather underwater waste, always using human divers.
No solution exists that exploits autonomous robots for underwater litter collection; the SeaClear project will develop the first.
