The Tennessee River is getting a helping hand at keeping the waterway clear of debris and litter.
Eighteen devices, known as Seabins, will be installed along the river as a test pilot by Keep America Beautiful for both cleaning and educational purposes.
“We’re hopeful that we can turn the tide of freshwater plastic around by collaborating with partners like TDOT [Tennessee Department of Transportation], Keep the Tennessee River Beautiful and others to urge the public to reduce single-use plastics, recycle the rest and join in cleanup efforts that help improve our water quality,” said Anna George, vice president of conservation science and education at the Tennessee Aquarium.
