Lady preparing for River Clean-up on the Chao Phraya River, Bangkok

by Giel Hagenbeek

This photographs shows a working lady from the Bangkok Metropolitian Adminstration (BMA) "yellow boats" on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. Early in the morning, at sunrise, workers in bangkok start preparin the boats before they go on the river to remove floating plastic and litter. The photo was taken during my fieldcampaign, where I sampled how Water Hyacinths entangle floating plastics.
