Abstract Around 88% of the ocean’s surface has been contaminated by plastic waste. As global warming intensifies, the actions of society are backfiring on the well-being of the world. To address this growing problem, my project developed ClearFlow AI, an AI-powered microplastic filtration system designed to detect and extract more efficiently than traditional methods. This innovation aims to provide a practical, cost-effective solution for deteriorating environments.
