Recycled boat on mission to raise awareness about marine rubbish

A boat made from marine plastic is making its way across the notoriously treacherous Bass Strait. It is on a journey to raise awareness about marine rubbish. The boat left Hobart for Sydney earlier this year and the team has stopped at towns along the east coast of Tasmania, cleaning the coastline and talking to communities about rubbish. SBS News' Tasmania Correspondent Kerrin Thomas checked in with the team from Flinders Island.
