GONE: 64 TONS OF TRASH IN 2009

What an amazing year 2009 was! Nearly 3000 volunteers removed over 64 tons of marine debris from our coast! That's over 128,000 pounds of consumer plastics, lost fishing gear, and other junk that won't be killing our coastal wildlife or spoiling the beauty of our beaches. Help us make even more debris disappear in 2010. Volunteer today!

WHAT IS 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.
