Initially this blog was started to track my journey across the Pacific Ocean as I studied plastic pollution of the Western Garbage Patch. Since departing the expedition in June 2012 my life has changed dramatically as I've been working towards making The Bahamas a pollution aware and plastic "free" country. I'm creating a movement and I invite you to follow along in my journey to raise awareness of plastic pollution in The Bahamas through research, education, outreach and policy change.

Japan Ahoy! (LOADS AND LOADS of Photos Inside)
Sea fever didn't hesitate to kick in towards the end of the trip as every one was about ready to get back to land. The closer and closer we got to Japan the more antsy the crew got to touch land, so much so that we started making bets on how far away we were from the island. I had the pleasure of being the spotter and got hoisted up the mast to try and find land. IT WAS AWESOME!! Japan is an amazing place and I'm excited to return there. We ate sushi, bowled, had an earthquake, a plastic TRASHION SHOW courtesy of designer Marina Debris, went to the Tsukiji Fish Market (quite the experience) and most importantly attended a Plastics Conference at the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology and met Captain Charles Moore, author of the book Plastic Ocean and the first person to discover the North Pacific Garbage Patch. Kumpai (cheers in Japanese) to all the great moments we had in Japan.
