The City of Long Beach has a new weapon in the war against trash, a remote-controlled debris-collecting device capable of removing up to 100 pounds of garbage from waterways in one single mission. The new “Jellyfishbot” will aid the City’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine by helping clean marina waters while simultaneously bringing awareness to the issue of waterway pollution. The city is also asking its youngest residents to help come up with a name and uniform for it.
