Disclosed systems, devices, and methods support an automated dynamic way to reversibly span the surface of a waterway, and may include deploying a floating boom and catch bin to redirect and capture floating waste before it reaches the terminus of the waterwaye; detecting, by a sensor suite, impending boat traffic; activating, by a control system, one or more actuating line motors for one or more closing lines; verifying, by the control system, a closed configuration; verifying, by the control system, whether a battery bank charge is above a required threshold, where if the battery bank charge falls below the required threshold then the system remains in the closed configuration; activating, by the control system, one or more actuating line motors for one or more opening lines if the battery bank charge is above the required threshold; and verifying, by the control system, an open configuration of the system.
