BimTube website: http://bim.tube
In this BimTube Podcast, we speak to Peter Kohler about data visualisation, mapping, and wider data science techniques, such as artificial intelligence (AI), that are building insights to help develop and implement strategies to combat marine litter.
Peter Kohler BSc (Hons)
Senior Marine Litter Scientist, Cefas
CEO & Co-Founder, The Plastic Tide

As the founder of The Plastic Tide, a CIO Charity, Peter works with a dedicated team of professionals and scientists who strive for a cleaner ocean for humanity. The Plastic Tide's mission is to reveal and relieve an ocean under siege from marine litter and plastics, bringing the damage this siege has on all life on this planet to the fore, informing and monitoring solutions to it.
Their cutting-edge and cross-discipline use of tech, science, drones, and citizen science gives them the unique ability to reveal the extent of the problem and inform solutions. The scalable, cost-effective power of their drone imagery and autonomous machine learning allows them to build a picture of marine litter and plastics on an unprecedented scale. This information provides scientists, politicians, campaigners, beach cleaners, and classrooms with the knowledge to help better clean all our beaches today, but also to inform the actions needed to reduce it for tomorrow.
The Plastic Tide wants to deliver an open-source platform to provide humanity, for the first time, with the knowledge needed to focus the fight against marine litter and plastics!
Independent of his work as CEO and Founder of The Plastic Tide, Peter works in an innovative team in Cefas's world-leading Marine Sciences department. Here, he analyses the full spectrum of the marine litter challenge from land to sea, from design to education. He works with governments and a full spectrum of stakeholders, within cultures and countries, to build and assist in implementing lasting national strategies to help enable change where it is needed most to combat marine litter.
