She is ready to implement and achieve Rozalia Project’s Trash Tour objectives:

• Remove a projected 9.4 tons in approximately 29,550 individual pieces of marine debris from the environment
• Educate and inspire a projected 5,000 people who will visit the boat or take part in dockside and onboard marine debris programs at community waterfront centers throughout NY, Long Island Sound and New England
• Conduct the following scientific study: Using tidelines, convergences and eddies in the Eastern Maine Coastal Current (EMCC) to locate accumulation zones of marine debris

The tour will cover 1,765 nautical miles and 24,231 acres as we search and clean-up the marine environment.
