There are many measures being taken to reduce the amount of water pollution present in ocean water in and around Australia. The sea dumping act is an official piece of legislation that limits the amount of dumping allowed in the ocean. It regulates loading and unloading activities as well, and it requires companies to obtain permits before dumping vessels and structures, performing burials at sea, taking part in dredging operations, or making artificial reefs for tourism or other purposes.

The Ocean Cleanup helps our goal by cleaning up plastic and pollution as well as stopping pollution from entering the ocean at rivers.

# data[].attributes.body
The Ocean Cleanup is developing cleanup systems that can clean up the floating plastics caught swirling in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The circulating currents in the garbage patch move the plastic around, creating natural changing hotspots of higher concentration. With the help of computer modelling, they predict where these hotspots are and place the cleanup systems in these areas. Then the plastic can be caught in the capture zone of the cleanup system. The wingspan, speed and direction are corrected and maintained by the boats. Once the system is full, the back of the capture zone is taken aboard, sealed off, detached from the system, and emptied on board the boats. The capture system is then put back in place to clean up more waste.Once the containers are full of plastic onboard, they bring them back to shore for recycling.

2. Reduce vehicle pollution. Use fuel-efficient vehicles or ride a bike, so oil tankers don't exist and leak oil.

3. Reduce waste. Cut down on what you throw away.

1. Conserve water. Use less water so excess run-off and wastewater will not flow into the ocean, where it could potentially ruin the water quality.

The Interceptor Tender was developed to work alongside the Interceptor Barriers. This small powered barge uses a conveyor belt to scoop up the trash from a barrier and offload it into a dumpster onshore. While the Interceptor Barrier is a tool to intercept trash, it’s not capable of extracting and offloading on its own. This is where the Interceptor Tender comes in. This mobile extraction and the offloading unit is capable of servicing multiple barriers, and They expect to see multiple Interceptor Barrier deployments in close proximity to others. This means that the cost of extraction equipment is shared over multiple Interceptor sites.

The Interceptor Barrier is a solution that consists of a standalone floating barrier anchored in a U shape around the mouth of a small river. This intercepts the trash and buffers it until it is removed from the water. The design builds on their experience from their existing Interceptor deployments. In fact, it is a variation of the barrier they use to concentrate trash toward the mouth of a standard Interceptor. The main difference is that, in this case, most of the barrier is permeable and is thereby optimized to efficiently buffer trash in the water.

When the interceptor is almost full, it automatically sends a text message to the local operators to come and collect the waste. Operators then remove the barge, bring it to the side of the river, empty the dumpsters, send off the debris to local waste management facilities, and return the barge back into the Interceptor.

The Interceptor can store up to 50m³ of trash before needing to be emptied. This means it’s capable of operating even in the most polluted rivers all over the world.

A shuttle automatically distributes the debris across six dumpsters. Using sensor data, the containers are filled equally until they reach full capacity.

The current moves the debris onto a conveyor belt, which continuously extracts the debris from the water and delivers the waste to the shuttle.

River waste flowing with the current is guided by the barrier towards the opening of the Interceptor. Thanks to the Interceptor’s catamaran design, the water flow path is optimized to pass through the system, carrying the plastic onto the conveyor belt.

The Ocean Clean Up is developing machines that clean the garbage patches in the ocean as well as removing rubbish from rivers.
