Several of Safe Harbor Marinas’ 97 locations will get 4ocean’s Harbor Skimmer installed, which pulls plastic and other pollution from the water. Much like a pool skimmer, the 450-gallon device runs 24 hours a day, sucking in waste as it floats by and storing it in a collection bin.
“We’re proud to partner with the team at Safe Harbor because it gives us yet another way to remove trash from the ocean at scale while also educating the community on the effects of plastic pollution,” says 4ocean co-founder Alex Schulze. “We look forward to influencing positive environmental change together with Safe Harbor for many years to come.”
So far, the following Florida marinas all have the Harbor Skimmer: Safe Harbor Old Port Cove (North Palm Beach); Safe Harbor Calusa Island (Goodland); Safe Harbor Burnt Store (Punta Gorda); and Safe Harbor Pier 77 (Bradenton). Safe Harbor plans to install the Harbor Skimmers at all of its marinas nationwide over time.
