What safety measures does The Ocean Cleanup implement to protect marine life?

Question

What measures does The Ocean Cleanup employ to protect the marine ecosystem while carrying out cleaning activities?

Answer 1

System 003 from The Ocean Cleanup has several wildlife safety constraints, such as underwater monitors to check on wildlife interactions, lamps for night missions, and a remotely operated safety hatch for fish egress. The system’s sluggish operation also enables fish and sea turtles to swim out of harm's way.

This is great but it's killing the organism at the surface of the ocean
