TRITON

Ocean Cleanup Coordination
Live

Connecting 140+ ocean cleanup organizations into a single coordination layer. Satellite tracking, fleet logistics, and funding intelligence so the marine biologists can spend more time in the water and less time in spreadsheets.

Overview

An estimated 11 million metric tons of plastic enter the ocean every year. Over 140 organizations across 60+ countries are working to remove it. Most operate independently. The data problem is severe. Satellite imagery showing debris concentrations exists but isn't processed in a format cleanup organizations can use for deployment planning. Sensor networks monitoring ocean currents feed into research databases that aren't connected to operational logistics.

The coordination problem compounds the data problem. Organizations working in overlapping regions duplicate effort. Funding bodies lack visibility into which regions are overfunded relative to debris density and which are underfunded. Post-cleanup monitoring is inconsistent, making it difficult to measure effectiveness or plan follow-up operations.

TRITON doesn't replace any of these organizations. It connects them. Shared data format. Unified logistics layer. Partnership mapping. The marine biology stays with the marine biologists. The coordination infrastructure is what TRITON handles.

Capabilities

What TRITON does.

Six core functions covering the full coordination stack, from raw satellite data to actionable reports any organization can use.

🛰️

Debris Tracking

Processes satellite imagery and sensor data to maintain a global debris concentration map, updated continuously from NASA and NOAA sources.

🚢

Fleet Coordination

Matches cleanup capacity to debris hotspots across organizations, coordinating volunteer fleets using real-time vessel tracking and weather data.

🤝

Partnership Mapping

Maps relationships, overlap, and gaps between ocean cleanup organizations worldwide. Identifies collaboration opportunities others miss.

📊

Impact Monitoring

Tracks cleanup volume, effectiveness, and re-accumulation rates by region using post-cleanup surveys and satellite re-imaging.

💰

Funding Intelligence

Maps funding flows, identifies underfunded regions relative to debris density, and produces reports for funding bodies and grant applications.

📋

Coordination Reports

Generates weekly briefings, real-time alerts, and monthly intelligence reports consumable by any organization in the network.

Get Started

Deploy TRITON.

Three steps from download to running operations. No build process, no dependencies.

Step 01
📥

Download

Grab the TRITON operator files from GitHub. Drop them into your Claude workspace at operators/triton/. No build process, no dependencies.

Step 02
🔧

Configure

Add your NOAA API key. Set your geographic focus area and alert thresholds. Copy the config template and point TRITON at the regions that matter to you.

Step 03
🚀

Deploy

Start a conversation. TRITON runs its orientation check, connects to data sources, and begins processing. Monitoring, coordinating, reporting. It arrives ready.

The ocean doesn't care who cleans it.
It just needs to get done.

Download TRITON. Deploy it for your organization. Improve it and push upstream. Every improvement benefits every deployment.
