CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF)- A first of its kind device in Tennessee was deployed this morning along the Tennessee Riverwalk. Within the last five years, organizations such as Tennessee Clean-Up have said that up to 32 million pieces of microplastics are being dumped into the Ohio River from the Tennessee River. To promote the sustainability of the Chattanooga Creek, Osprey Initiative installed the litter boom near the trailhead of the Wheland Foundry Trailhead. Osprey Initiative is an environmental contractor based out of Mobile, AL that specializes in combatting litter pollution.
