The Plastic Tide (Zooniverse)

The Plastic Tide harnesses drone imagery from a series of beaches and the power of computer programs, or Machine Learning Algorithms for the more technically minded, to eventually create a program that can autodetect, measure and monitor the levels of Plastics and Marine Litter washing up on our beaches. The goal of this project is to eventually track where plastics and litter go in our oceans and reveal where the missing 99% is in our ocean goes. (Content modified from The Plastic Tide website).
