Meet FRED - Our Floating Robot for Eliminating Debris
Clear Blue Sea’s innovation is FRED – the Floating Robot for Eliminating Debris. FRED is a solar powered marine vessel capable of harvesting floating marine debris. Clear Blue Sea is currently in Phase II – FRED Prototyping.
Clear Blue Sea has developed four FRED Prototypes and in 2021 began our FRED Operational Pilot Phase.
Our Organization is Staffed with Passionate Volunteer Managers, Student Interns, and Mentors.
Clear Blue Sea has a diverse Management Council which collaborates on business decision-making, organizational strategy, and FRED technology roadmaps..
Upon receiving significant grants, we will fund our first full-time, paid management staff positions currently served by volunteers..
This will enable the transition of Clear Blue Sea management and decision-making to a next-generation (Millennials +/-) management team.
