October 23, 2013 by NOAA Marine Debris Program By: Dianna Parker On a hot, sunny Saturday afternoon in September, Hector the Collector swims to the bottom of Hampton River in Virginia and looks for trash. Visibility is terrible because of the sediment and plankton kicking up, but he knows it’s down there, as it was in every other harbor he’s searched. Giving up, he heads back to the dock, but awestruck kids will still crowd around him later to learn about his trash dives. Hector the Collector is yellow, weighs about 15 pounds, and has a gripper claw, a camera, and headlights. He’s a remotely operated vehicle, made by VideoRay, that’s a centerpiece of the Rozalia Project’s marine debris education and outreach initiative, in partnership with the NOAA Marine Debris Program (NOAA MPD). “Rozalia Project is thrilled to be working with the NOAA MDP to combine resources to both cleanup and inspire people, of all ages, to be part of the solution to marine debris. We appreciate that NOAA’s Marine Debris Program shares our optimism that every efforts counts and that we all can make a difference!” The Rozalia Project for a Clean Ocean has been around for four years under the leadership of Rachael Miller, an enthusiastic educator, scientist, and sailor. Its mission is to find and remove marine debris, from the surface to the sea floor, through action, technology, outreach and research. Pick it up, don’t point at it, is the motto, and the Rozalia staff has gotten amazing results through those cleanups.
