Reducing the cost to collect particles in the ocean e.g. plankton or marine litter

Taking particle samples (plankton, organic or pollution matter) from ocean surface is a resource intense task. A vessel, diesel, manpower etc. are needed to go the extra mile across high waves and through strong winds putting people and material at danger. Recent years has brought several developments in remote navigation allowing to build devices which could be launched near shore or at the beach and do their mission autonomously. Floating Horizon started as a final design school project and has developed into a website pooling own ideas and 3rd party concepts or existing solutions around the topic of collecting debris or matter from ocean surfaces.
