Cape Eleuthera, The Bahamas

--Over
the course of three days in early February, 5 Gyres scientist Dr.
Marcus Eriksen hosted a conference at the Cape Eleuthera Institute (CEI)
for educators on the impact of marine plastic pollution.
Dr. Eriksen gave presentations detailing voyages to these gyres to
study their makeup and movement. His passion inspired Kristal Ambrose
Aquaponics intern at the Cape Eleuthera Institute, into action.
Motivated by the dilemma of plastic marine debris in the local waters of
the Exuma sound and oceans around the world, Kristal pursued an
opportunity of a lifetime.
The
CEI aquaponics intern decided she wanted to accompany him on one of his
voyages. Following a series of fortunate events Ambrose got her chance.
Thanks to efforts on her part to secure funding and support from Chris
and Pam Maxey...
