Telefónica Tech and the Real Club Náutico de Palma are launching a pilot project to collect marine waste during the Copa del Rey regatta using an autonomous aquatic drone. The drone, equipped with IoT connectivity, can collect up to 500 kg of waste per day and monitor microplastics in the port. The waste will be stored for recovery by Tirme, a local waste management company, promoting reuse, recycling, or recovery. The project aims to promote efficient sea cleaning and raise awareness about the importance of keeping coastlines clean.
