The Story Behind the Invention
“In an 11-year-old's eyes, protecting the ocean is as natural as the tide itself.”
Many marine clean-up devices are expensive and consume fuel, creating secondary carbon emissions. That's why our 11-year-old inventor thought: "Since tides rise and fall every single day, why not use the ocean's own energy to collect trash naturally?"
Thus, the Tide Cleaner was born! It uses zero electricity, zero motor power, and relies entirely on tidal water movements and gravity to filter out plastics.
Our Solution Flow (From a Kid's Perspective)
Here is how we build a cleaner ocean in 3 steps:
On Land: Community Cleanup
We share videos on social media to invite kids, schools, and families to join beach cleanups. Reducing waste on land is our first and most important shield!
In the Ocean: Tidal Solution
We deploy the Tide Cleaner in ocean channels. Floating plastic flows in during high tide and is locked inside the basket, while water drains out during low tide.
Prevention: Growing the Community
We create the "Ocean Treasure Guardians" platform to share knowledge, motivate actions, and bring ocean lovers together worldwide!
Ocean Pollution Flashcards
Click on each flashcard to flip it and reveal how long these plastics stay in the ocean!
Plastic Bag
Click to FlipDecomposes in: ~20 Years
Plastic bags float in currents and look exactly like jellyfish. Sea turtles often eat them by mistake, causing serious blockages in their stomachs.
Plastic Bottle
Click to FlipDecomposes in: ~450 Years
Plastic bottles are extremely tough. They drift for centuries, breaking down into toxic microplastics that enter the marine food web.
Six-Pack Ring / Cup
Click to FlipDecomposes in: ~100 Years
Plastic cups and packaging rings easily trap fish, birds, and crabs, preventing them from growing or feeding. Choose reusable cups!
Ghost Fishing Net
Click to FlipDecomposes in: ~600 Years
Lost fishing nets float silently like ghosts, trapping corals, whales, and dolphins. They are one of the biggest threats to marine life.
