Tackling Marine Litter with Technology: The Role of Innovation in Addressing a Global Problem

Abstract

The world's oceans are facing a growing problem of marine litter, which is affecting marine life and the ecosystems that support them. The problem is so significant that it has been identified as a global issue that requires a coordinated effort from governments, industries, and individuals to mitigate its impact. While many initiatives and programmes have been put in place to address marine litter, can technology play a crucial role in tackling this problem? This article explores the potential of technology in addressing marine litter and the types of technology that can be used.
