Watershed Wonders and The Journey of Fluke documents the journey of Captain Marcus Eriksen PhD on his recycled raft. In conjuncture with Algalita Marine Research Foundation Eriksen sailed 300 miles down the California coast. The mission included raising awareness about synthetic debris and the importance of wetlands in the fight against pollution. Plastics travel from our streets through our storm drains and ultimately reach the ocean damaging the marine eco-system.

Construction:

*800 plastic bottles

*1000 plastic bags

*A junk car seat

*A sail made from 50 polyester shirts

Amphibious Productions is currently documenting the voyage of FLUKE. We are following Fluke down the coast of California and will be providing an in depth look at the effects of man made synthetics on our coastal wetlands and the marine environment.
