The beetle fish can last 12 hours after fully charged. Its made from steel with 3 layers. The fin has solar panels to charge right above water. A tracker is below the 3 layers and a thin waterproof cover. The fin and legs can detect the level of pollution in water and has legs that are retractable.

Using the fins of Beetle Fish as solar panels is so clever Amelia. They can absorb plenty of light! I think the idea of detecting pollution in the sea water is really creative, we can gauge where exactly the water needs to be cleaner and how much pollution is present. Good thinking Amelia!
