Coastal zone mapping and imaging lidar (CZMIL) participation in the ocean cleanup's aerial expedition project

An emerging environmental issue for the world's oceans is the accumulation of plastic debris on or near the ocean surface. A novel collaboration between The Ocean Cleanup foundation and Teledyne Optech - an aerial survey with the Optech CZMIL system, data processing and analysis - is expected to provide initial volume estimates for future debris collection by The Ocean Cleanup.
