Thanks to her tireless crew, The White Holly successfully loaded illegal fishing gear, marine debris, and waste from the precious Cocos Island World Heritage Site in Costa Rica. The massive and unrelenting load was no match for The Holly, a former US Coast Guard Buoy Tender. Her 10 ton crane lifted 34 tons of plastic and waste into her cargo hold and onto her decks, which was carried back to a mainland port. The collected plastics will be upcycled into apparel and sales will be contributed to future Sea Shepherd campaigns.
