PlastiShark

The PlastiShark is an Ai, bio mimicked tiger shark that filters plastics and microplastics out of our oceans. It uses radar sensors on the fins and eyes to detect plastic and it relays the information to the AI brain so it knows where to go and relays this information to the people on the boat using its antennae. The camera on the eye lets the people see what the shark sees. The mouth opens to pick up the larger pieces of plastic, and the gills filter the microplastics out of the ocean. It gets its power from solar panels on the top of the shark, and from turbines that spin when the shark moves. The big propellers on either side of the back fin are what makes the shark move. It will help by cleaning out the microplastics and plastics in our oceans.
