CLS and its subsidiary Prooceano have working with the Brazilian government to improve water quality in the Bay of Guanabara . The model developed by CLS allows to save time and optimize fleet management . Stephanie Limouzin says\u00a0<em>&#8220;<\/em><em>For a year , our system has optimized the evacuation of thousands tons of waste but the problem is that it continues to reach new every day. The situation is still much improved : the bay is increasingly clean, although it is not perfect. There is still work because there is a lack of\u00a0effective system for collecting waste upstream , before they end up in the ocean. &#8220;<\/em>\u00a0People\u00a0will soon have their sights set on Rio during the 2016 Summer Olympics \u00a0and\u00a0it will\u00a0helps to highlight the work that can be accomplished by companies\u00a0such as\u00a0CLS. This is a great demonstration of satellite works!\u00a0Environmental monitoring associated with ocean observation allows to optimize such a huge pollution removal program and restore sites like the Bay of Rio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cls.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/BG_corrente-JO2016.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cls.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/BG_corrente-JO2016.png\" alt=\"BG_corrente-JO2016\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Each day, a weather current is distributed to predict the movement of waste in the bay of Rio.
