Thank you for pointing me towards the right direction, so I found the following link:
Precise, gentle and efficient - The cleanup system has been specially designed and tailored for this purpose. It is four meters deep and designed as a funnel with an opening at the bottom to ensure that fish and other marine life are not trapped when trawling for marine plastic.
