The video tutorial explains the installation and operation of a sea bin, which is fixed to a dock and powered by shore power. The sea bin uses a water pump to filter water, collecting floating debris in a natural fiber bag. Users can optionally install an oil and water separator to further clean the water before it returns to the ocean. When the debris bag is full, it can be replaced, and the collected waste should be disposed of responsibly.
