Jamaica Bay Trash Skimmer Keeps New York Waterways Clean
Floatable debris consists of a wide assortment of plastic, wood, paper, glass, rubber, metal and organic waste materials that float or are suspended in the water column and may eventually be deposited on shorelines and beaches. Floatable debris originating from street litter, combined sewer overflow (CSO) discharges, storm water discharges, decaying shoreline structures, pleasure boaters, and littering beach goers, can harm the marine environment and cause area beaches to close.
The New York Department of Environmental Protection uses the Aquatic Systems Titan Series Trash Hunters, such as the Jamaica Bay, to keep New York’s waterways debris free.
