Nieuw project gestart: Modelling study for southwest region of Tsushima island

Geplaatst op:

This project takes place in the context of the initiative of The Ocean Cleanup (TOC) to test and develop their concepts to achieve the goal of removing large quantities of floating plastic from the world’s Oceans.
As an intermediate step before designing, installing and operating a large floating barrier to collect floating trash in the deeper waters of the Pacific gyre, TOC wishes to test their design and equipment on a smaller “coastal pilot”. This coastal pilot is being planned for the southwest coast of Tsushima island (Japan), which is severely affected by floating trash problems and where TOC has the support of local authorities.
TOC has asked Deltares to study in detail the coastal circulation affecting the area pre-selected for the test-barrier.
