Our friends in the NOAA Marine Debris Program have created some wonderful resources to help everyone understand marine debris and how to prevent it from spoiling our ocean and beaches. Here are a few:
CNN on "Project Kaisei: Voyage to Clean Up the Plastic Vortex Seattle Post-Intelligencer on marine debris in Puget Sound Oprah on the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" BestLife on "Our Plastic Ocean" Bloomberg on "Plastic Mistaken for Plankton" LA Times on marine debris. New York Times on "Sea of Trash: Pollution in the World's Oceans" SF Chronicle on marine debris VBS.tv on "Toxic Garbage Island" PBS on "Jean-Michel Cousteau: Trash on the Spin Cycle"
We need funds to cover the cost of heavy-duty garbage bags, disposal fees, signage, and other event supplies that help make each cleanup a success. Donate now through Discover Your Northwest.
