Olsen Elementary School students some of the bottles that washed ashore on San Jose Island. The bottles were saved by Theta Kinney and Julie Findley who coordinate the annual Adopt-A-Beach Cleanup on San Jose Island. The students’ job was to help analyze the bottles for a follow-up to a study done in 1992 to see what trends have occurred to learn something about the continuing problem of marine debris.
