We're thankful to have Captain Dave Merrill "at the wheel"
He navigated the LegaSea to a location where our crew could remove hundreds of pounds of abandoned gill and squid net.
See what this 14-person crew dragged out of the sea!
What an amazing team of Ocean Defenders on the Big Island!
5,000 pounds of debris removed in less that thow hours! Can you believe it?!
We'll be back to do it again. This is just the first of our new quarterly cleanups at Honokohau Harbor. We hope you can join us on the docks or under the water...or just support us from afar! We need you!! And thank you!!!
