This August, a team of Fung Fellows: Kelsey Leet, Anjana Saravanan, Aditya Vunnum, Joelle Siong Sin, and Elena Mujica had the chance to put their design into action with the help of their project partner, the Papahānaumokuākea Marine Debris Project (PMDP) — a non-profit that aims to protect the sensitive wildlife and critical habitats of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (Northwestern Hawaiian Islands) from the threats of marine debris. The team embarked on a trip to Hawaii to field-test their underwater net removal prototype, which featured a cutting and tensioning tool designed for improved efficiency.
