Captain Allan Aunapu, an environmental activist and the first rigger and Captain of the famous sloop Clearwater will appear Monday 10AM ‘On the Record and Off the Wall, a http://www.joltradio.org interview show with Buzz Fleischman.

Championed by folksinger and activist Pete Seeger, the Clearwater sailed the Hudson River and held concerts to promote cleaning up the polluted river. Allan will share his memories of that time on the river with Pete and other musicians as they sang, sailed and kick-started an environmental movement to clean up the now unpolluted Hudson River.

The sloop Clearwater is recognized as America’s Environmental Flagship and is among the first vessels in the United States to conduct science-based environmental education aboard a sailing ship, creating the template for environmental education programs around the world. More than half a million people have experienced their first real look at the Hudson River estuary’s ecosystem aboard Clearwater. In 2004, the sloop Clearwater was named to the National Register of Historic Places for its groundbreaking role in the environmental movement.
