Students gather in Dartmouth to pitch ocean solutions

Well, one reason that as plastic breaks down, it turns into microplastics and fish can easily consume these microplastics through like just breathing in the water probably. And because fishery is so important on the South Shore and in Lunenburg, if our marine life and ecosystems aren't clean, then that can make us unhealthy too. And we don't want that to happen. The Brilliant Blue Challenge is an annual global ocean innovation competition for high high school students primarily, but it's open to students aged 12 to 18. We need to reach youth at this age or younger to help solve some of our most pressing problems in the blue economy and in freshwater and oceans in general. We're around 75 students in total, the program has participated, there was national competitions across the world. We are Marine Guardians Lab and we are from Chile! It consists in a submarine drone, autonomous, that can recognize the image of the salmon with artificial intelligence and can send this image to a web we are deploying and to have to recapture into the salmon to salmon escape it from the fish farm why we do this because in Chile we have the penguin the Humboldt penguin and the salmon eats the food that the penguin eats so the penguin is in risk of extinction so what we do our drone our drone captures images, videos and all of the pictures of the salmon and with artificial intelligence we recognize it and we send all the data to people so the industry can recapture the salmon. A microplastic filter for your washing machine to intercept the microplastic particles that come off your clothing. more there's another part like political part where we want to like put a law with like washing machine so like obligate the filter in washing machine so it help us more for the environment
