WHAT IS MARINE DEBRIS & WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT?

Learn about marine debris. Marine debris is trash that somehow ends up in the ocean. Recognize this plastic water bottle? It could be the one you threw away several months ago - not at the beach, but at your home! It just blew out of your garbage, landed in a nearby waterway, and floated out to the coast. Now it's poisoning sea otters.

Or maybe a commercial fishing boat lost some gear in one of our notorius winter storms. Now it's out there damaging our coastal fisheries, pointlessly killing everything that gets caught.

No matter where you live or what kind of work you do, marine debris is your problem. Learn more and use our resources today.
