Collecting waste from waterways

Collecting waste from waterways involves removing debris, plastics, and other pollutants from rivers, lakes, oceans, and canals to improve water quality and protect marine ecosystems. The process often includes manual efforts using nets or tools, automated systems like skimmers and trash-collecting boats, and sometimes community-driven clean-up events. These initiatives aim to reduce environmental hazards, protect wildlife, and promote sustainable waterways for communities and future generations.
