Long Beach will host a virtual public meeting for residents to learn about the Marine Debris and Trash Capture System Project on Wednesday, Nov. 12 from 6 to 7:30 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The project aims to reduce pollution in Long Beach\u2019s waterways and coastal areas that comes from the Los Angeles River and cities upstream of Long Beach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

City staff will give an overview of the Marine Debris and Trash Capture System Project\u2019s initial phase: a feasibility study to evaluate which technologies can be used to intercept trash and debris in the Los Angeles River before it reaches Long Beach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The initial phase will also identify location to place these technologies and outline the next steps for design, permitting, construction, funding and long-term operations and maintenance. Attendees will be able to discuss community concerns relating to pollution, the Los Angeles River and its surrounding marine environments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The project is funded in part through a 2022 settlement award from a lawsuit against Monsanto<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Community members are encouraged to attend the virtual workshop to learn more about the project, the feasibility study process and how findings will guide future decisions.<\/p>\n

Residents can register for the meeting online<\/a>, and learn more about the project at lbcity.info\/marinedebrisproject<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pre-registration is encouraged but not required. Interpretation services in Spanish, Khmer and Tagalog and any other accommodation will be available upon requests made by end of day Thursday, Nov. 6.<\/p>\n
