Dr. Marcus Eriksen and Joel Paschal, eco-mariners from the Algalita Marine Research Foundation, are scheduled to arrive in Ala Wai harbor fuel dock after completing a 3 month voyage from California to Honolulu aboard JUNK – a raft made from 15,000 plastic bottles and a Cessna 310. Their incredible voyage calls attention to the increasing environmental problem of plastic debris in the Pacific Ocean.CONTACT: Anna Cummins, (310) 998-8616
