The oceanic garbage patches get a lot of press, but do you know what is floating right here in Boston Harbor?
The Rozalia Project uses underwater robots, nets, and hands to clean our ocean from surface to seafloor while studying the problem and running education programs.
They operate from aboard the 60-foot sailing vessel American Promise in the Gulf of Maine and Massachusetts Bay as well as from partner docks and vessels throughout the U.S.
Rachael Miller, Rozalia Project’s founder and executive director, will lead an introduction about the problem of marine debris in our waters here in New England (as well as those thousands of miles away) and follow up with Rozalia Project’s trash-hunting adventures, including getting attacked by a lobster, freeing an octopus and making some unusual finds while picking up more than 500,000 pieces of ocean trash with 10,500 participants all over the U.S.
