I noticed a post from the City of Gloucester Facebook page that the City has partnered with Seaside Sustainability to install a seabin in the harbor near the Harbormaster’s Office, so we went down to check it out. Here’s a quote from the City’s page: Thanks to our partnership with Seaside Sustainability , this innovative device is helping to keep our harbor cleaner by collecting floating debris from the water. The Seaside team regularly empties the seabin, logs what they find, and carefully returns any natural materials like seaweed back to the ocean.
A seabin is a floating trashcan that acts like a garbage skimmer to help keep the waters cleaner. If you’re walking down the ramp toward the pier for the Harbor Shuttle, you might notice it and wonder about it. Now you know. I think it’s a great idea that deserves a shout out. Thank you City of Gloucester and Seaside Sustainability!
