Beach drone patrol for plastic pollution on Kingsdown Beach in Kent.Two conservationists - Peter Kohler, 33, founder of The Plastic Tide, and co-director Ellie Mackay, 28 are on a mission to push back against the rising tide of plastic on Britain's beaches using a L4,000 DJI Phantom Professional Quadcopter drone to fly over beaches taking photographs. They have developed an algorithm to scan the aerial images and identify plastic to produce an accurate map of the worst polluted parts of UK coastlines. "We can only account for about one per cent of the total plastic that is going into the ocean," he says. "We don't know where the other 99 per cent is. It could be on the seabed, in marine life or washing up on beaches. Until now, there hasn't been an accurate way to measure this." The goal is to pinpoint where the plastic comes from. Once, Kohler found a Japanese yoghurt pot with a 1984 sell by date ( plastic takes 450 years to degrade). 8 million tonnes is thrown away each year and washed out to sea, an amount that has increased by 250 per cent in the past decade. By 2050, it is thought the plastic in the sea could weigh more than all the fish combined. The impact this is already is having on our oceanic ecosystems is immense. ? Christopher Pledger / eyevine
