Falmouth’s Seabin

A Seabin has been installed in an area of the Falmouth Haven marina pontoons where flotsam and jetsam is known to accumulate. The device, which is skimming plastics and other debris from the water, was funded by Falmouth Harbour in generous collaboration with Falmouth-based Space tech company Paddle Logger which creates specialist tracking and safety software for watersports’ enthusiasts.
This litter gathering technology is the first device of its type installed in Cornwall – linking Falmouth into the world-wide network of the Seabin Project: there are currently 860 Seabins located in marinas around the globe collecting almost 4000kg of plastic and debris each day.
