A water debris skimming device
A water debris skimming device comprising a cylinder 101 which can be submerged just beneath the surface of the sea, having a pump 109 to remove continuously water which has entered through the cylinder’s mouth. A pump is provided to remove water by an outlet of the cylinder. A filter such as a wire mesh and/or filter bag 201 is placed at the outlet to trap debris 102 which has entered into the cylinder, therefore filtering water leaving the cylinder. The pump is powered by a floating solar panel (401, figure 4). The water debris skimming device may further comprise a one way valve comprising at least one panel (601, figure 6) arranged to be biased to be horizontal and blocking the inlet.
