Abstract

Activities carried out in coastal areas such as recreation, fishing activities, and transportation makes coastal regions have an essential role in life. However, activities carried out in the region often leave negative impacts, such as dumping trash directly into the sea. Coastal communities still carry out their activities to dispose of their waste now to the sea. The process of cleaning up marine litter in the coastal areas using heavy equipment is quite tricky. This is because the condition of buildings in the coastal area has the building with the concept of houses on stilts. The research has succeeded in making a marine garbage dredging using a conveyor system that is contained using a wireless joystick and can be well controlled within a radius of about 7 meters. The dredging is also equipped with a weight sensor (load cell) used to determine the load of garbage displayed on the 16 x 2 LCD. Garbage weight is stored in the SD card. The data stored on the SD card will show the time and load of garbage that has been transported by conveyor in an area.

Highlights

  • The coastal area is an area that has an essential function for life

  • This study aims to design a device that can be controlled to be used as a dredger of marine debris on the surface of the water and can store the amount of garbage transported

  • Based on the purpose of this study, to make a prototype of a marine debris dredger and the results of this study it was found that it can work and operate with a vehicle dimension designed for 1.26 m x 0.6 m in the form of a rectangle

Summary

Introduction

Many activities carried out around coastal regions harm the environment, one of which is throwing garbage directly into the sea. If this activity continues, it will result in environmental pollution, and affect the health of the oceans and have an impact on the lack of fish productivity [1]. Residential buildings in coastal areas are buildings in the form of stilts or platforms that have poles with a distance of 1 – 1.5 meters [2]. The house’s condition on stilts is complex for heavy equipment to pass through to clean the garbage around the building, and the environmental cleaning process must be done manually. The final printed area will be 172 x 252 mm
