The US Army Corp of engineers are constantly working to remove debris from the bay. The bio diesel powered boat, USACE Raccoon, is based out of Sausalito. They say they cover the entire bay weekly. I had no idea & thought it was cool. 8-)

Very cool, nice to know they're doing it and getting it done. If you've ever been part of a Bay Area beach cleanup that gets debris, what they are doing is 150-200 times that (based on weight and what we have done before)...
