Plastic Ocean Project's traveling art exhibit successfully made it to California in December 2014 where it was on display at the Aquarium of the Pacific. In February it moved to the ARTery in Costa Mesa, CA and is now on it's way to Boulder Colorado.
A special shout out to Kurt Lieber from Ocean Defenders Alliance who put me up and got my van ready for the road. Here are some photos from my journey heading toward Colorado. But I have one stop along the way. Salt Lake City, UH. You might notice it isn't exactly on the way. But it is on the way to helping solve the problem with plastic marine debris and worth every mile out of our way. Stay tuned for more details.
This blog shares the research experiences and findings conducted at University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW faculty and students) in conjunction with Plastic Ocean Project. Earlier posts share open-ocean sampling and adventures in the North and South Atlantic, the South Pacific and the North Pacific Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Outreach and education is the primary purposes to bring global awareness to an issue that has reached a crisis level in the marine environment.
