Data  Exploration:  Explore  and  analyse  the  acquired  data  to  understand  its structure,  quality,  and
                       relationships. This phase involves data cleaning, visualisation, and statistical analysis to uncover patterns
                       and insights that inform subsequent modelling.

                     Clean and preprocess the data to extract relevant features such as plastic concentrations, ocean currents,
                     and marine life habitats. Explore visualisation techniques to understand spatial and temporal patterns of
                     plastic waste.

                       Modelling: Develop and implement AI models  using appropriate algorithms and techniques. This
                       phase includes feature selection, model training, parameter tuning, and validation to optimise model
                       performance and accuracy.

                     Develop AI models such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for image recognition to detect and
                     classify plastic debris  in ocean  images. Implement reinforcement learning  algorithms for  optimising
                     cleanup strategies based on real-time data.

                       Evaluation:  Assess  the  performance  of  trained  AI  models using evaluation  metrics and  validation
                       techniques. Validate model predictions against ground truth data to ensure reliability and generalisation
                       ability across different scenarios.

                     Evaluate model performance using different metrics to ensure accurate detection and classification of plastic
                     waste. Validate models with cross-validation techniques and real-world testing in different ocean regions.

                       Deployment: Integrate the validated AI models  into the operational  environment for real-world
                       applications.  Deploy  models  using  scalable  and  efficient  frameworks,  monitor  performance
                       post-deployment, and iterate as necessary to maintain effectiveness and relevance.

                     Integrate AI models into autonomous drones or underwater robots for real-time monitoring and cleanup
                     operations.  Implement cloud-based solutions for  scalable deployment across global ocean  regions.
                     Continuously  monitor  model  performance  and  refine  algorithms  based  on  feedback  from  cleanup
                     operations and environmental assessments.
                     By following this AI project cycle, we can effectively leverage technology to address the critical issue of
                     ocean plastic pollution, leading to improved marine ecosystem.

                     Let us map the steps of Cleaning Ocean project to the steps in the AI project cycle.
