JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The American Sailing Association is asking boaters to be on the lookout for any plastic they see out on the water.
The campaign is called, Operation Plastic Pollution Purge.Through the campaign, the association is asking boaters to take less plastic out on the water and pick up any plastic in the water to be brought back and recycled.
Tony Jones, the owner of Windward Sailing in Fernandina Beach, said they remind boaters to pick up any plastic they find.
If everybody thats out, all boaters, when they see plastic pick it up, it would really help, said Jones.
Some docks do have recycling bins by the water for boaters to dispose of any plastic they find.
