Spend the evening with the founding team of Bureo, an innovative company finding solutions to ocean plastic pollution. Learn how the team faced a dynamic range of plastic pollution in the ocean, and set out to find solutions. Becoming aware of the complications and lack of infrastructure for the disposal of derelict fishing nets, the team proposed a solution: recycling fishing nets into skateboard decks.

Active members in the growing community of ocean activists, the team will share insight into the latest research on ocean pollution and walk through a few everyday solutions to support the push for cleaner oceans. An interactive presentation, visuals and a short documentary film will be followed by a Q&A session. The Bureo Skateboard project has been supported in part by the New England Aquarium's Marine Conservation Action Fund.
