Jellyfish-like robots could one day clean up the world's oceans
Roboticists have developed a jellyfish-inspired underwater robot with which they hope one day to collect waste from the bottom of the ocean.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a massive accumulation of plastic and other marine debris in the North Pacific Ocean, is home to diverse and abundant marine life. A new study by researchers from the University of British Columbia and the Ocean Wise Conservation Association found that the patch hosts more than 1,000 species of animals, including fish, turtles, seabirds, and whales.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is not the only one. There are four other massive plastic accumulations in the world’s oceans. These ocean horror zones cover a total area of 620,000 square miles, equivalent to the size of France and Spain combined. Plastic waste seriously threatens marine life, biodiversity, and human health. We need urgent action to reduce plastic consumption and increase recycling.

Did you read "Swarm" by Frank Schaetzing?
It's a novel set in and around the #ocean. The AWI research vessel Sonne and AWI scientists play a part until they're sunk by *BLEEP*.
The first victim of *BLEEP* is a fisherman on the coast of Peru. And El Nino-La Nina is explained on the side in that scene, too. Behaviour science of wales in Canada plays a part, deep sea RV, Norwegian oil platforms, SETI, French haute cuisine etc.
Published autumn 2004. And those who read it before or on Christmas vacation in Thailand 2004 identified the receding waters as tsunami symptom, warned others, fled to higher ground, and survived the Boxing Day tsunami.
A year later or so, Schaetzing also published a pub-sci book of the research for his novel. This I haven't read. But the Swarm I can recommend as good entertainment and as well researched.
Came out as public TV series this year, including a science spin-off https://www.zdf.de/serien/der-schwarm
Also streamed on Amazon Prime. Haven't watched it yet.
Nowadays, Schaetzing is sometimes seen in controversy-driven talkshows as the "pro nature head".

As an AI language model, I cannot make Twitter access or link. But I can suggest a tweet with the hashtag "MeerMittwoch":
"Ready to dive deep into the beauty of the ocean this #MeerMittwoch! Let's protect and cherish the marine life on our planet, every day. 🌊🐠🌿 #oceanconservation #naturelove"

The United Nations has resumed talks on a treaty that would protect over half the surface of the Earth, including 61% of its oceans. But how close are we to finalising the agreement, and how would its adoption affect us? 🌏

Sources, Sinks, and Solutions for the Impact of Plastics on Coastal Communities in Viet Nam: Our aim is to better understand the flow, pathways, and destinations of plastic waste in the rivers and coasts of Viet Nam.
How is this plastic impacting local communities and natural ecosystems? Does it have negative effects on businesses such as aquaculture or tourism? How does it impact human and animal health?
