UEPSAM will have an operational monitoring and modelling system to forecast where major clusters of floating trash would likely be found. Forecasts would be based on a detailed coastal circulation model (based on Delft3D-FLOW), representing tide, density and wind effects. This system could potentially import “anecdotal” information on location and volume of clusters of trash (based on Delft3D-PART), identified whether by local remote sensing methods or by incorporating crowd-sourcing information (starting with the eco-boat pilots themselves).
