Eco Filter

A big strainer basically I was thinking made of recycled plastic or maybe something way stronger but it has small holes in it big enough for water to flow through but to small for garbage I was thinking for the fish to get through there can bet an opening at the bottom and fish can go through but garbage can’t and I was thinking to put it at the end of a river where the ocean begins. This strainer would catch lots of garbage but not water. Boats would pick up the garbage after the beeper goes off when the eco filter is full.

I'm glad you thought about fish getting stuck in your invention Charity. It's a great idea to have clean water flow through the strainer, but an opening also needs to be a good enough size for fish to stay safely in the water. That way, we have nice, clean water along with safe, happy fish! A beeper when the strainer is full of rubbish is a good way to alert us that we need to empty the waste, then we can have a much improved, cleaner sea! Nice one Charity, keep it up!
