For our Moore Institute MLK Day of service we cleaned plastic from the San Gabriel River, but couldn't remove all the shopping carts where the green sea turtles feed. Next time!

My first mate, Facundo Resendiz, has to stop dropping expensive parts overboard and making me do these "treasure hunt " dives. Oh well, any excuse to get wet!

Most of you know about my work with microplastics though my open ocean research. I am now focusing on these tiny plastics in drinking water using a device we developed at my new nonprofit, the Moore Institute for Plastic Pollution Research.
