CNN Video: Transforming discarded nets into energy
Hawaii Wildlife Fund's efforts help turn nets into energy
April 2013
- A recent CNN news video called "Transforming discarded nets into energy," featured Hawaii Wildlife Fund's Megan Lamson and her volunteers who, over the past year alone, have cleaned more than 12 tons of marine debris from a beach on Hawaii Island through HWF's Hawaii Island Marine Debris Removal Project.
    Most of the large bundles of net, many weighing well over 1,000 pounds, are removed with special equipment and shipped to Honolulu where it is used to generate electricity in a trash-to-energy conversion plant (H-Power).
   Volunteers are a critical part of this shoreline effort and they’ve come from all over – the island, the state, the world – to participate.
    To get involved in HWF's marine debris program, please contact
Megan Lamson kahakai.cleanups@gmail.com. To help us keep Hawaii's beaches clean, please donate to Hawaii Wildlife Fund.
