Default River Cleanup

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.

Andy, maybe they will loan the machine to you for a week on the Raritan. There is a Raritan Valley Sewage Authority, isn't there? Maybe they will buy one for you. If not, how would a series of booms along the mouths of the trbutaries work to collect floatables?
