Welcome, JUNK!

Posted On: Sep 02, 08

Kokua and the Plastic Free Hale’iwa Coalition welcome JUNK and its crew as they educate our community about plastics in our oceans. 

Three months and 2,300 miles after departing from Long Beach, California, the JUNK raft and its two eco-mariners Dr. Marcus Eriksen and Joel Paschal arrived in Honolulu at the end of August. Made from 15,000 plastic bottles and a Cessna 310, JUNK is a project of the Algalita Marine Research Foundation, which is dedicated to the protection of the marine environment. Your family can visit the JUNK raft NOW at the Waikiki Aquarium through Sunday, September 7. Check it out and find updates about JUNK-related events at www.junkraft.blogspot.com
