WHAT IS MARINE DEBRIS?

Learn about marine debris.  

Marine debris is trash (typically plastic) that somehow ends up floating in the ocean, where it spreads toxins and kills marine organisms. When it washes up on our beaches, it looks ugly, spoils our delicate wilderness ecosystems, and can even harm people too.

Learn more by visiting our Learning and Resources sections.
