Weather never stops us! But it does shape our logistics. When do cleanups in remote areas of British Columbia, most of the times we need to barge out our collected materials to an in-land staging point with road access. This is the reason why planning is very important to make sure that we plan for high tide, and low wind to ensure the efficiency, and most importantly, safety of our crews. Believe it or not, we have worked in the harshest conditions and have learned to work around them!What’s your most favourite weather?#plasticpollution #SustainableFuture #captain #ocean ...
