Unmanned plane to help spot marine debris in monument

By Associated Press

HONOLULU (AP) _ Managers of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument plan to send an unmanned airplane to search for drifting marine debris in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.

The electric-powered craft will transmit digital video footage back to a research ship which will collect the garbage.

The monument hopes to reduce the chance nets will damage coral reefs.

They also hope to protect critically endangered Hawaiian monk seals and threatened green sea turtles, which have become entangled in nets in the past.

The plane may join an October marine debris removal voyage but it's more likely to participate in a March excursion since details still need to be worked out.
