Successful cleanup with BEBOT at Commons Beach in

Successful cleanup with BEBOT at Commons Beach in Tahoe City last week! 🌊 We loved seeing BEBOT in action at the @tahoecityfarmersmarket and can’t wait to watch it continue to make rounds on the North Shore over the next few weeks, wrapping up its end-of-summer cleanings at Kings Beach, Moon Dunes, Lake Forest, and Tahoe Vista.

Here’s an interesting fact: At one site in 2022, BEBOT was put to the test after volunteers had already combed the beach. While the volunteers collected 30 pieces of trash, BEBOT covered the same area and uncovered an additional 300 pieces of microtrash buried in the sand. This experiment highlights the small, yet harmful litter lurking beneath the surface, and underscores the importance of combining human efforts with technology to keep Tahoe’s shores clean. 🌍
