Cleaning Up Connecticut: Harbor Watch’s River Boom Breakthrough

Director of Harbor Watch, Nikki Spiller, joins Lisa Wexler to discuss how the nonprofit is making a real impact on Connecticut’s waterways. In partnership with Westport’s Earthplace, Harbor Watch has launched the state’s first river-spanning litter boom—an innovative project designed to trap trash before it pollutes local waters. Spiller explains how the system works, shares early results, and outlines what’s next, including plans to expand into higher-density areas where pollution challenges are even greater. A conversation about local action, environmental stewardship, and scalable solutions to a growing problem. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
