This week on "What's Up in Waste," host Jane Arandelovic dives into how technology and AI are combating ocean waste and protecting our seas. We explore three innovative solutions: Saildrone's unmanned vehicles collecting vital ocean data, Ocean Mind's AI-driven enforcement of marine protected areas, and an eco-friendly method to extract chitin from crab shells and shrimp at the University of Connecticut. These stories not only highlight the challenges facing our oceans but also the incredible potential for technology to foster sustainability. Join us as we navigate the intersection of innovation and environmental responsibility.
