the French company has invented a special search chips that can help people in combating pollution of the oceans.
every year in the sea are lost about 640 tons of wood, nets, tackle and other fishing gear that do not just clog up the underwater world and become deadly traps for dolphins, turtles and other marine life. According to the newspaper 20 minutes, the new chip offers to hang on the net and, if they tear or lost device due to the connection with the satellites will quickly find them.
According to the developers of CLS, to monitor earth processes with the help of satellites, the size of the chips does not exceed five centimeters. “By creating these labels, we have achieved success not only in technological terms but also in economic, as these devices will be sold at reasonable prices,” – said the Director of innovation and exploration CLS Gaetan Fabricius. He also noted that communication with the satellite owners chips will cost only a few euros a month.
However, while devices for sale not ready – first they need to test. First tests will be held this month in the waters of the Mediterranean sea in September – outside French waters. It is expected that the pilot phase will be completed next year.
