OCEAN
DUSTCART - SeaVax is seen here during open water floatation
trials. Please note that this is a small (proof of concept)
version of any ocean or river portable dustcart that we hope
will be tested on the south coast of England as the project
progresses. SeaVax is a selective filtration machine that will
be configured to target solid plastics and particles. The
machine could also be used in oil spill emergencies, or as a
selective fishing vessel for harvesting of alternative marine
produce. The platform could thus be useful in
many ways, leaving traditional fishermen to catch their quotas
in a move to more efficient use of our ocean resources.
SeaVax
will be on display at The Ocean Symposium, Hastings on the
22nd September.
