11 million tons of plastic enter our oceans annually, forming harmful accumulation zones that kill marine life and disrupt coastal economies
Conservation teams require real-time predictions of plastic accumulation zones. Traditional large-scale ocean-drift simulations are computationally expensive and inaccessible to most organizations, leaving them unable to optimize cleanup efforts.
Democratizing ocean-drift forecasting through distributed volunteer computing
Complex simulations divided into thousands of small Monte Carlo trajectories running on volunteers' devices
Aggregated results create high-resolution plastic drift forecasts, enabling near-real-time predictions
Uses community resources instead of expensive supercomputers, democratizing environmental modeling
Lightweight kernels combine ocean-current data, wind patterns, and AI models for accurate predictions
Join the fight against ocean plastic pollution today
Install our lightweight desktop application. It runs securely in the background without affecting your work.
Your device receives small ocean-drift trajectory simulations using real ocean-current, wind, and wave data from NOAA and Copernicus.
Results are aggregated into global plastic-drift probability maps helping cleanup crews focus efforts where needed most.
