The She Sailor Sea Story episode Clean Sweep is sponsored by American Sailing.
Around the globe plastics are sadly abundant in the oceans — single use bottles, wrappers, polyester clothes, fishing gear, even synthetic line from sailboats — washing hither and yon, to eventually break apart into bits then into microplastics. Volunteering for the Rozalia Project, the She Sailor Sea Story Clean Sweep crew worked from the historic 60ft sailing vessel, American Promise, to collect, sort, record and remove plastic debris from islands along the ruggedly lovely landscapes near Rockland, Maine.
