The recycled bottle raft, named “JUNK,” built from recycled plastic bottles and aircraft parts created by Marcus Eriksen and Anna Cummins , Santa Monica residents, who represent the Algalita Foundation. This Foundation educates people about the harm of human waste in the Ocean. The raft is designed for sailing from California to Hawaii, while picking up plastic debris that’s in our ocean along the way.
