Health and Health Care Forum - Ocean Blue Project
Health and Health Care Forum

Roberta Hall hosts a conversation with Richard Arterbury who founded the Ocean Blue Project — an effort to clean up streams and thus oceans — and improve health of living things (people, animals, the environment).

The image above shows 
Richard Arterbury and his son Fleet, sitting on the front steps of the Corvallis-Benton County Library. Richard, inspired by his son’s concern about the plastic they saw on Oregon beaches, developed the Oregon Blue Project to clean streams of plastic and contribute to the health of streams, rivers, humans, and the ocean’s living things. The project uses native plants to do long-term removal of toxins in streams and rivers.
