For those of you who missed Friday’s BlogTalkRadio show about Lindsey Hoshaw’s upcoming voyage to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, look no further. The show covered every thing from how Lindsey scored such an epic opportunity aboard the Algalita Marine Research Foundation vessel to how Captain Charles Moore’s voyage compares to Project Kaisei which is already out at sea, to what Lindsey hopes to uncover as the only journalist going out to the garbage patch–specifically, how this floating plastic soup affects you and me by way of the seafood we consume.
Listen to Lindsey talk about every thing she’s doing to prepare for the trip, and hear about how this Spot.us pitch has served as a shining example of what’s possible in community-funded reporting.
Below are the sites where you can keep tabs on Lindsey throughout the reporting process.
