Rubbish collected by the Sea bin can harm marine life if allowed into the open ocean.
Mr Ceglinski said they will start cleaning up the ocean starting from ports, marinas and yacht, because these places has high human activity which is closely associated with oil and fuel contamination. At the same time, Sea bin is more proficient than a marine laborer walking around with a scoop net.Hopefully this creation will help reduce or eliminate entirely the chances of marine life eating toxic waste or having these waste float out to sea where they can't decompose naturally.
Mr Talmage said this idea is useful in preventing harmful plastic waste from becoming a part of the marine food chain.This benefits the boarder environment not only for raising awareness for pollution, as they hope that these activities will help educate people who live close to the marinas, moreover, they believe that someday they can drive towards s cleaner environment for the people who rely on the ocean for a living.
Both of them have establish a research and development center to develop production techniques in Majorca.
The cost is high when they desire to utilize a more sustainable and ecologically responsible way to build the sea bin. Therefore they went to the biggest marine industry trade show in the world " METSTRADE" and found a few people who share a common interest in lending a hand in manufacturing and hopefully encourage governments and mariners from around the world to embrace and support this project(ABC News, 2016).
