Clean River Project, Merrimack River

We need a boat!   The Clean River Project is a 501c3, nonprofit organization dedicated to cleaning and maintaining the Merrimack River in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.  As the second largest watershed in New England, the Merrimack River is the drinking water supply for over 300,000 area residents. The Clean River Project was founded in 2005 by Rocky Morrison and a group of committed volunteers to stop the contamination on the river. 

The Clean River Project has removed over 100,000 tons of trash and debris from the Merrimack River including more than 5000 tires and 40 stolen and abandoned cars. We regulary patrol the river by boat and have ten trash containment booms strategically placed along the river to catch floating debris before it reaches the local beaches.  Our fleet of 4 customized pontoon boats is no longer sufficient to meet our needs.
We desire to add a 30 foot pontoon boat to the fleet in order to accomodate the volunteers who want to join our effort. We also need to replace the motor on our educational/tour boat.  We are looking to raise $30,000 to build the boat and purchase the motor.
