River Pollution Control

[Billfish715]

I found this on the F&G Website. It's both disturbing as well as refreshing. The amount of litter that was floating in the river was disgusting. The fact that there is a cleanup mechanism to prevent much of that debris from entering the ocean is refreshing. True, it's a big river that flows through a very congested, populated area with catch basins that dump floatables directly into the water. Shopping malls and strip malls with large parking areas that are cluttered with disposables are just as much of a source of pollutants.

I wonder if it's possible for the state or one of the other agencies that monitor a stream's health to buy a few more of these machines. There is just as much floatable material in the lower tidal portions of the larger rivers.
