Abstract

A device may be provided. The device may include a first floatation element and a second floatation element. Each floatation element may have a top surface configured to be disposed above a surface of water, and a bottom surface configured to be disposed below a surface of water. The device may include a plurality of parallel connector bars that are removably coupled to a top surface of the first floatation element and a top surface of the second floatation element. Each parallel connector bar may include a plurality of attachment points. Each attachment point may be configured to be removably coupled to one or more attachments, the attachments being configured to be held over or at least partially in the water.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device, comprising:
 a first floatation element and a second floatation element, each having a top surface configured to be disposed above a surface of water, and a bottom surface configured to be disposed below a surface of water; and   a plurality of parallel connector bars removably coupled to a top surface of the first floatation element and a top surface of the second floatation element, each parallel connector bar comprising a plurality of attachment points, each attachment point configured to be removably coupled to one or more attachments configured to be held over or at least partially in the water.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of attachments, each removably coupled to one of the plurality of attachment points. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein each attachment is an individual filter, a sensor, or an electric system. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein each individual filter made of natural or synthetic materials configured to filter microplastics from the water. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein each floatation element is comprised of a plurality of subcomponents, each subcomponent being a standalone floatation element coupled to at least one other subcomponent. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein each subcomponent can be coupled to another subcomponent via a locking mechanism. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein the locking mechanism is a puzzle joint or a bolt attachment. 
     
     
         8 . A kit, comprising:
 a first floatation element and a second floatation element, each having a top surface configured to be disposed above a surface of water, and a bottom surface configured to be disposed below a surface of water; and   a plurality of parallel connector bars, each connector bar configured to be removably coupled to a top surface of the first floatation element and a top surface of the second floatation element.   
     
     
         9 . The kit of  claim 8 , further comprising a first support bar configured to be removably coupled to the top surface of the first floatation element, and a second support bar configured to be removably coupled to the top surface of the second floatation element. 
     
     
         10 . The kit of  claim 8 , further comprising one or more attachments.
