"Introducing the Seabin" Summary draft 2
In the press release mentions "Introducing the Seabin Project"(2018), Jateff mentions that The Seabin Project started by two surfers who were tired of "swimming in garbage". Jateff mentions a device of ensnaring debris before flowing into the ocean, peculiarly to highly populated areas. Jateff mentions how "Plastic pollution" contributes to most of the eight million tonnes of waste yearly and which is causing harm to the sea animals. Jateff explains that Seabin functions by filtering debris into a "catch-bag" and pushing the cleaned water back out while being powered by electricity from shore. The Seabin is also accoutred with "oil-absorbent pads" that filter petroleum-based oil and detergents. The Seabins is best to place it strategically to maximize collection due to the Seabin is unable to captivate debris from a distance. Jateff claims that the Seabin is still developing a "recycled material catch-bag" and solar panels as a "zero-carbon" power option. While the Seabin is one of the solutions to ocean pollution, Seabin has a limited capacity in storing debris and inability to capture aground debris.
One major letdown to this project is the small capacity the Seabin able to hold.
