Student researchers, led by Environmental and Ocean Sciences professor Michel Boudrias, at the University of San Diego are testing out a new product in order to remove pollutants from water in ports and marinas.
The researchers have teamed up with San Diego company, Earthwise Sorbents, to use their sustainably made booms to continually clean up the ocean's water.
The booms not only absorb oil and diesel, but their two-year study found that they also collect large quantities of micro-plastics, heavy metals, and even invasive species.
