It features a photo of an MWRD staff member standing at the edge of a skimmer boat, using a fishing net to collect litter, including a plastic water bottle, from the Chicago River in downtown Chicago. Another staff member is seated on the right side of the boat. The iconic Marina Towers and Dearborn Street bridge are visible in the background, located in the River North neighborhood. White text at the lower left reads: “International Day of Action for Rivers.” At the bottom, a gray rectangle displays the MWRD logo in white on the left, alongside the names and titles of the Board of Commissioners: Kari K. Steele, President; Patricia Theresa Flynn, Vice President; Marcelino Garcia, Chairman of Finance; and commissioners Precious Brady-Davis, Yumeka Brown, Cameron Davis, Beth McElroy Kirkwood, Eira L.
