Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of environmental protection, and in particular to a marine garbage cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] Marine debris affects the ocean landscape, threatens navigation safety, and has an impact on the health of the marine ecosystem, which in turn has a negative impact on the marine economy.

[0003] Plastic waste not only causes visual pollution but also threatens navigational safety. Discarded plastics can become entangled in ship propellers, especially plastic bottles, known as "magic bottles." These can relentlessly damage ship hulls and machinery, causing accidents and downtime, resulting in significant losses for shipping companies. Even more alarming is the devastating impact plastic waste has on the health of marine ecosystems.

[0004] The largest form of plastic waste in the ocean is discarded fishing nets, some miles long and known to fishermen as "ghost nets." Ocean currents entangle these nets, creating death traps for marine mammals, entangle and drown thousands of seals, sea lions, and dolphins each year. Other marine creatures mistake plastic for food. For example, sea turtles are particularly fond of plastic bags that resemble jellyfish, while seabirds prefer old lighters and toothbrushes because they resemble small fish. However, when these birds try to regurgitate these items to feed their chicks, they often choke to death. Plastic products cannot be digested or broken down in animals. Ingestion can cause stomach upset, behavioral abnormalities, decreased fertility, and even death.
