The Laker Raker has had a busy summer, joining the Boys & Girls Club of the Muskegon Lakeshore and the Pere Marquette Adopt-a-Beach Team for their cleanup events, and even attended the Great Lakes Surf Festival! #Meijer #GLPCleanup #CGLRGreatLakes #PollutionProbe

AWRI summer interns have been hitting Pere Marquette beach with the Laker Raker BeBot drone! In addition to keeping microplastics out of our Great Lakes, interns will sort and catalogue litter for microplastics research. #Meijer #GLPCleanup #CGLRGreatLakes #PollutionProbe
