Coastal Marine Litter Observatory

AI-driven marine litter management - providing real-time and actionable data

Harnessing the power of drones and AI to combat marine litter, delivering real-time insights that empower stakeholders to take precise, data-driven action for cleaner coastlines

CMLO aims to improve the detection and mapping of marine litter in the coastal zone. The results presented through CMLO are open through a dedicated geospatial portal. In the CMLO system, the detection of marine debris in the coastal zone is visualized as density maps.

The system provides functionalities for interaction with the results of the detection for every beach that is monitored.

Benefits

A revolutionary solution designed to optimize operations, enhance precision, and deliver real-time insights.

AI-driven detection

Near real-time mapping

User-friendly interface

Scalability

Automated reports

The CMLO is a tool for the quantitative presentation of marine litter distribution in the coastal zone using automated classification methods.

Through the CMLO SDI portal, users can interact and compare the marine litter detection results for every beach monitored.

CMLO and the produced marine litter density maps can be used as a decision-making tool for policymakers and scientists. The integration and visualization of the litter density information allow to facilitate decision-making by stakeholders. Last but not least, the litter density maps and their spatiotemporal analysis are provided open to the public and organizations (NGOs, Local authorities, Governments, researchers, etc.).
