After reading a lot about the fact that there were already many NGO's dealing with the cleaning of the bays and the sea surface, we wanted to concentrate on other topics first. This is now several years ago. But the reports about garbage in the oceans kept increasing. Especially how many dolphins and whales die in agony each year. Unfortunately, the truth is that more and more plastic is being produced and used and then at some point it is carelessly disposed of again. A good part of it ends up in the sea, as is so often the case. And we're not just talking about ear sticks and plastic straws. Television sets, radios, stereo systems, kitchen appliances, vehicle interior fittings, etc. – of course, all of this already existed a few decades ago. But everything was made of metal and wood. But it's so much easier to make it all out of plastic. It saves costs and thus increases the profit margin. 

There are already a number of NGO's that deal with cleaning up beaches and the garbage that floats on the surface in the open ocean. So a few years ago we started to think of solutions for areas where nobody is active yet: the deep sea, inaccessible coastal regions and estuaries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The focus is on high scalability. We are also happy to pass on our knowledge of the solutions if they prove to be successful. We only have one chance when we are many and more and more people, companies, organizations, sponsors and countries support us.

Many NGOs point out that only avoiding waste leads to the goal. That's right. When will we see a worldwide plastic ban? In 10, 20 or 50 years? Probably only when those responsible can no longer swim in the sea because of all the plastic. But then there is already a lot more plastic in the oceans than there is fish. And some plastic has a decomposition time of several hundred years. It would help a lot if new products such as SUPs (standup paddling) were recyclable - or even better - had to be taken back by the manufacturer for recycling. But none of this happens. And so it is to be feared that hundreds of thousands of these pieces of sports equipment will eventually end up in the sea because they are old and thrown away or simply left lying around. There is much to do. We would like to help with smart solutions that our planet will soon be better again. 

And so we focus on autonomous robots and drones, which search defined quadrants in the seas with AI-controlled software. The underwater equipment and project phases are scaled in such a way that we will start with the most productive regions first and then venture step by step to the deeper regions. This initially allows the use of simpler solutions, which also requires a smaller budget. And as long as we only live on our own funds, the possible uses are unfortunately still limited.
