Vivus, is a device that uses biomimetic design to remove oil floating on a liquid surface, as an immediate emergency response strategy. While it collects floating oil it mitigates the catastrophic spread of the spill, thus preserving natural marine ecosystems. Once the oil is collected it is housed in a containment unit where it can be given back to oil companies, fostering more accountability
and producer responsibility. Vivus aims to respect what we harvest from the earth and create mutualistic relationships between oil companies and the marine
ecosystem they harvest from.
