# Marine Debris Archive (MARIDA)

Marine Debris Archive (MARIDA) is a marine debris-oriented dataset on Sentinel-2 satellite images. It also includes various sea features (clear & turbid water, waves, etc.) and floating materials (Sargassum macroalgae, ships, natural organic material, etc) that co-exist. MARIDA is primarily focused on the weakly supervised pixel-level semantic segmentation task.
