John Robinson: National Hero in Space and Ocean Programs, HTO founding Board Member Passes Away

John Robinson was everything to Heal the Ocean. In our early days he got out in the field with us, created the first septic system map for Santa Barbara as a gift from Heal the Ocean to the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, invented the Abtech storm water filter and set about on foot to investigate Montecito creeks to see if a test area could be done for a Heal the Ocean “Adopt-a-Drain” program. With his wife Francesca Cava (a NOAA captain), he brought in the huge NOAA ship MacArthur, to anchor over the Montecito sanitary district outfall in 30 feet of water, so that Francesca could pilot from its deck the Deep Rover submersible to film the outfall. John did all this with and for us – and more. We will love him forever and miss him greatly . . .
