August 24 - Meet Captain Charles Moore, a true Long Beach legend.

Moore discovered the first of five large floating plastic debris zones in our oceans. The largest one is estimated to be a 620,000 square mile circle of trash.

Moore went on to found the Algalita Marine Research and Education organization in 1999, and he’s stayed at the forefront of what he calls the “Great Plastics Awakening,” to make people aware of this growing problem.

A third generation Long Beach resident living in the shore also has his own large produce garden that he opens weekly as a farmers market.
