A trash skimmer is a device or vessel designed to remove floating debris, trash, and pollutants from the surface of water bodies such as marinas, harbors, lakes, rivers, and coastal areas. These skimmers play a crucial role in maintaining water quality, protecting aquatic ecosystems, and improving the aesthetics of waterways.
Here’s a breakdown of what trash skimmers are and how they work:
Purpose:
- Remove floating debris: This includes plastic bottles, bags, paper, food waste, seaweed, logs, and other organic and man-made litter.
- Collect pollutants: Some skimmers can also remove oil, grease, and other floating pollutants from the water surface.
- Prevent accumulation: By continuously removing trash, skimmers help prevent debris from sinking and causing more significant problems like sediment buildup and harm to aquatic life.
